I have a bios laptop and I want to buy a new laptop that has a UEFI boot but how do I install on a USB cause I have never done it before?
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Make sure the Nemesis's EFI folder is on a FAT32 partition and on the laptop Disable the EFI Secure Boot option.

So the way I boot bios now I can install UEFI the same way.

Just follow the advice from Ed_P and copy the files from the ISO. Nothing else is necessary
