Hi Paul,
If I were you, I wouldn't start from here.
I'd start by using the unofficial non-free iso that includes firmware.
I would enable TPM and Secure Boot - both work in Debian 11.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.3.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Again, I wouldn't use Balena Etcher - I would use dd if you have
a Linux machine around - you can always reformat the USB drive afterwards.
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/ gives you the installation
guide.
F12 will give you a boot order, yes.
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
