I recently acquired a lightly-used HP Envy 17" laptop, model DA0013dx, and of course wanted to run OpenBSD on it. It came with Windows 11 on an internal NVME drive. Booting OpenBSD from a USB device failed fast: it hung. To get there, first of course I had to disable "secure boot" in the BIOS. Then, the boot process hung part way through the device probe section of the boot process. Familiar to BSD users since 1979, probing is where the OS tries every device it knows about and, if the device responds appropriately, marks it active and prints a short message on the console. Other OSes go through the same process, but the three mainstream OSes simply choose to hide it under a GUI. Both Linux and macOS have a Unix-derived dmesg command which prints the messages that are hidden at boot. On Windows, you have to into System Settings or some such to get hardware information.
