    A few years ago I messed around with lots of distros and several USB installers, found that:

    Some USB memory sticks, although working normally otherwise, just would not boot when installed with Linux.

    Sometimes, a particular USB installer would not work with a particular machine or distro.

    Some machine just don't like to boot to a Linux stick.

    To save messing about I ordered a DVD of TAILS 3.0.1 64 bit. At £1.75 it won't break the bank!

    Need a 32 bit now.

    Not sure I like the sound of that. Presumably it's optional.

    Bloody internet! Broadband is dropping out, probably the rain. It has a habit of affecting service. And ebay searches are saying zero results, 'maintenance' again I expect.
