Would wiping the computer's hard drives help in any way?....you know...like working with a "clean slate"?....and I believe its F12 for getting in the the Bios?..but F2 or F8 to get to the BIOS settings...I only ask because I recall a time when I had a Dell Vostro and a Dell XPS...they both gave me problems...then I' booted into a Live version of Fedora Linux and wiped their drives clean...left them formatted as NTFS...and then attempted installs.....after getting into the BIO menu I disable UEFI and installed Pop-OS on the XPS....and the Vostro which was for someone else got Linux mint...with no problem. (Never really understood the need for trying to hide or lock down the UEFI feature...some people who are computer savvy WANT the option of leaving it on or taking it off!)
I think you're misunderstanding the goal here. He's trying to create a UEFI bootable flash drive, not boot off the hard drive. Wiping the hard drive would be the complete opposite of the objective which is make a drive image of the existing hard drive by booting from a flash drive.
