I have Dell Latitude 5400 laptop that I have been experimenting with:

1.  Changing CMOS "Settings" -> "System Configuration" -> "SATA 
Operation" from "RAID On" to "AHCI" allows Debian to see the internal SSD.

2.  "Legacy" mode (e.g. BIOS) no longer exists -- the firmware is UEFI 
only.  The Debian Installer detects this and boots into UEFI mode.

3.  I successfully installed Debian 11 onto a USB flash drive with 
"Secure Boot" enabled.
