Got the left port to boot F38, but not F42.
I reenabled UEFI secure boot and Boot Menu seems to list it.
When I press enter, instead of booting,
it does not complain, it just takes me to Startup Menu.
Round and round I go.
One of my Dell systems was dual booting F41 with Windows 11, but after 3
successive Windows updates messed with the UEFI settings and required
manual fixes to restore Fedora boots, I wiped the disk.
What did they do?
The Fedora 41 USB wouldn't boot, but the Server USB did boot so I used
that and installed the Workstation packages I use.
Others have installed an older Fedora and upgraded to the current version.
Since I have F39, apparently I'd have to go through F40 or F41 to get to F42.
I've never changed versions through upgrade.
I'd thought that if a version number was justified,
a fresh install was the clean thing to do.
One time on a fresh install in which I kept my home directory,
firefox gave me trouble because of a
format change that was not handled.
That was a fresh install.
Also, my recollection, from the comments of others is that cleaning
up after the old install is not always as thorough as it should be.
Are these good directions?

To me, though I might have to, doing it that way is a bit like
getting a candy bar because the pop machine won't take my money.
Also, doing it that way means I never find out what is going on.
Suggestion on which version to use as the intermediary?
Do the F40 or F41 releases require UEFI?
