Explanation

Boot options (boot order) in the BIOS/UEFI firmware determine which device the system attempts to boot from first. By moving the USB drive to the top of the boot order, the system will automatically load the OS from the USB when powered on. A BIOS password controls access to firmware settings but does not change what boots. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) handles encryption and secure boot attestation. USB permissions may control whether USB devices are allowed at all, but do not determine boot priority.
