“Will this laptop boot from a USB device if you need to boot from USB instead of the loaded OS? I could not see anything in the BIOS that let you do that. It appears to be locked down.”

I have an earlier model from the year before this one and it does boot from a USB w/o issue, actually easier to do than with most modern laptops lately. I don't see any reason why you would not be able to do so based on this. You will have to boot into the BIOS menu first and turn off safe boot and you might have to turn on legacy boot.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
The bios should have a section called something like "boot order" that would let you specify the USB drive as your second boot device.
