The boot order on your computer is a setting that refers to the startup of a particular operating system. Not only an operating system, but also external hardware such as a USB stick or external hard drive can be started with it.
Your computer will start by searching for the BIOS or UEFI and then the hardware. If hardware is found, it will search for an operating system that can be started.
If you want to adjust the boot order (“boot order”), you can do this via the UEFI settings. Around the Open UEFI settings you need to boot the computer to the advanced boot options. This is how it works.
