Hi and welcome.
Just a word of caution. If this is a desktop you are connecting to, I would disable onboard drive in the BIOS or physically disconnect the drive.
I have a Tower with an HDD and a Hotswap Bay for an HDD.
I decided to take Endeavour OS for a spin. Chose the Hotswap Bay drive for install and it decided to wipe my internal drive with my daily driver on it PCLOS Debian, lost everything.
If you are on a Notebook (I refrain from using the term Laptop as it engenders bad practice), make sure you know the name of your internal device to distinguish it from the external device.
Use Disks to find the info.
For installation I find Ventoy the best.
