I assume if its recognized as a bootable device it should like if you had a bootable pendrive copy of Linux on it as well as windows [never tried windows on a usb] but that's a poplar way to do Linux to boot off a usb to desktop or to fully install it

Linux is free to use grab something like mint or Ubuntu and test it out and see
You can download the Linux Mint operating system for free. It comes as an ISO file
which you need to burn to a blank DVD. The liveDVD is then bootable and provides a
fully-functional operating system which you can try without affecting your PC. In
layman's terms, when you put Linux Mint on a DVD and place it into your computer, you
can try it out while leaving your current system intact.
Note: It is also possible to write the ISO image to a USB stick or other memory device and boot from that,
or to boot from the ISO image on the hard drive, but these options are somewhat more advanced and the
method presented here is recommended. For help with alternative methods of installing and running Linux
Mint, please visit the forums

if I recall windows can be funny if alls not followed right and some USB sticks may not work/ be supported you need to look over what you can from Microsoft on any steps and foot notes
I'm a firm believer in all ways getting a retail/oem dvd disk copy like you get from newegg for windows
I would practice with Linux to see if it will with out issue first for free [opinion ] but should be insert the ready to go USB stick in a port and start up select that as first boot device and save and exit and it should see that drive and boot to it ..
