Doing this much, was the hard part.

Why wouldn't it work ?

You need to know how to do popup boot or how to do boot selection.
It's not nearly as easy on a Dell.

My Dell is rather unique in the room, in that if you plug in two
USB boot sticks, there is no way to select one of two. To have
my Dell boot a USB stick, there can only be one USB stick plugged in.
All the other computers in the room, you just cursor down to the
USB stick you want, out of N sticks.

The Dell has a quirky BIOS, which means there are a number of tiny issues.

*******

This means that, plugging the stick into some other brand of computer,
the experience could be a lot more pleasant. I find I have to spend
a lot more time with Dell people, using my fevered imagination to
guess at what curve ball Dell has thrown this time. Like various
beverages, Dell is an acquired taste. Some people get used to the
Dell abuse (unnecessary edits to the BIOS that Dell has you make),
other just leave their Dell parked in the corner.

I took my Dell out of RAID Ready mode, because it was driving me nuts.
What i didn't think about though, is if the BIOS CMOS battery
dies on me, I have no records of what settings have to be put back :-)
If the CMOS battery is changed, I'm going to have to do part of whatever
I did, over again.

Bring back a symptoms description, if it doesn't work. some of the Dell
sound, is standard stuff, but they also have a tiny amplifier board
and a piezo in mine, and sound has only come out of that a couple times.

You can use the

    inxi -F

command and get a dump of what hardware is in the box. That is
easier than some other ways of listing the hardware.

On some of my hardware here, the sound is put on the HDMI cable, and
since none of my display devices have speakers, I would never hear a sound
sent there by accident. You have to review the output selection,
to ensure a real speaker is going to get the sound. I have to change
something from "HDMI sound" to "Analog speaker sound". Even Windows
has a little dialog for changing stuff like that.
