If you cannot see an option to boot from "External Storage" for your Operating System in the BIOS setup, you cannot boot using your USB or SD Card. It is still better to boot your Operating System from the primary hard disk drive of your computer. You can also use a portable Operating System for you to boot from USB or SD card but I will not advice you to do because it may create failure in your storage device.
