I have an HP Laptop 15s-fq2xxx and want to use Linux but my screen is cracked and I cannot access BIOS on an external monitor. I have tried many options to get it to come on an external monitor but none of them work. I have also tried to access the boot menu on start up but I cannot see it. Is there any way I can change the boot order so that the system boots from my USB rather than booting into Windows 11.

BIOS configuration utility (BCU) lets users change bios settings from within the Windows. BCU lets you view and modify the bios setting(s) in notepad and change the settings via command prompt. In your case you need to move usb drive to the first place of the UEFI boot order.
If you want to try this method, let us know. I can provide detailed instructions. You can download BCU from this link. Also, click on "HP BCU User Guide" in the link for user's guide.
