Booting from an external drive (USB or SD Card)¶
In order to launch SteamFork from a USB drive or SD Card you will need to first change the boot order in the BIOS.
During boot you can enter the bios by either pressing the del key on the built-in keyboard.
In the bios; navigate to the Boot menu and then change the boot order to prioritize the SD card under Boot Order Priorities. Then go Save & Exit and select the Save Changes and Exit option. This change will persist through all reboots. If you want to boot into Windows simply remove the SD Card or USB drive.
