Im just setting up a home lab and installing proxmox but when i try to boot to the installer it keeps throwing me to the BIOS.

Im using an asus mobo and Im pretty sure i have secure boot disabled because the options in secure boot are greyed and the only thing i can pick is "OS Type" and that is set to "Other OS". I also have Launch CSM set to "Disabled" when it was enabled it would just be stuck on a grey screen and nothing would show up.
 
pro tip: use ventoy to make a boot stick, it create a multi boot usb stick.

usage:
1) install ventoy to usb stick
2) copy any ISOs to the stick, and boot the iso of your choice.
