Alright, floks congratulations first that you have successfully created live bootable USB! Now you might question how do i boot live into kali Linux through my USB. Actually its very easy to do, but if you guys do have laptop or desktop that might be a little bit tricky. You need to go first at bios setting. Now the different computer has different way to go on bios setting. So i highly recommend you guys to research if my following process is not working.But as a basically lot of computer people use key like del and function keys. So you can also try on startup. Try on startup  press  del, if it don’t work press f12 or f11.  so once it goes on bios change boot option to USB and save it and restart it now you can boot live kali Linux.
