That's no guarantee that the drive works. I'd try another one,
especially given that it also fails on your desktop. And as you
already mentioned that you saw the laptop running a live system off a
flash drive suggests that the machine has no specific problems with
USB boots.
Regarding the booting options for a flash drive: I usually do that by
holding down an F*-key right after powering on the computer (I have to
be quick to do that) to access the UEFI/BIOS boot menu. The F*-key for
your machine depends on the model of your hardware. Mine (Dell) opens
the boot menu with F12. An internet search should say something about
the correct key for your model.
And when you're in that boot menu you might actually see your USB
drive show up as a boot option. Or that's at least what I would
expect. If you don't see the drive there, I'd again try another one.
