I use ubuntu and wanted to switch to kali. I installed an iso image on a flash drive from version 3.0, and when I turn off the computer and turn it on by pressing f10, my flash drive no shows in the BIOS? Setting up the BIOS is also impossible in the BIOS, the USB ports are version 3 in the laptop, I don’t know what BIOS version it is. can hp 15-fc0030nq. Do I have to use USB with version 2.0?

I'm sorry, but HP does not provide support for Linux distros -- including boot and installation issues.
IF you replace the preloaded Windows OS with a Linux distro, or add a Linux distro, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- including solving any problems with booting the other OS and/or installing the other OS.
Modern PCs with UEFI, instead of the older BIOS, are especially difficult to install because you have to go into the UEFI settings and make several changes before you can even boot from a USB stick -- and we are unable to assist in that work.
Your best bet for support now is to contact the support forum of the distro you are using.
Since you are using Ubuntu, go here: https://ubuntuforums.org/
Good Luck
