It depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you want everything to initialize correctly, having your Windows 8.1 USB ready at startup can help avoid issues. But if you're just testing or troubleshooting, it might not be necessary unless you're concerned about boot order or compatibility.

I didn't expect to need to change the boot sequence before installing Windows.

Ensure USB is positioned at the highest level in the boot sequence first.

Your computer may shut down several times while setting up and again later when Windows updates are applied.

Before installing Windows, consider setting your USB drive as top boot priority.

After adjusting the boot priority and saving the BIOS configurations, the system will restart.

Insert the USB, configure boot priority, save the settings, then use the reset button or power off/on to restore functionality.

Certain motherboards include a key such as F12 that opens a menu where you select the device to boot from. This is useful for a one-time exception boot, allowing you to avoid changing the boot order in the BIOS/UEFI setup and then returning it afterward. Check your motherboard manual for details on this feature.
