Do you mean that, if I try to run QubesOS (which is based on Linux) from my USB, I will be able to do a memory test on it, or that if I have a Linux operating system, I would have a memory test menu item when I try to run QubesOS from my USB? If the latter, I cannot do that as I have Windows 10.

The former. The memory test is an alternative OS that you can boot into (if you have uefi off in your bios settings) from most live Linux distros. Was unable to confirm if Qubes has it. See the screenshot here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/591488/how-do-i-run-memtest86/591502

Simplest is running it from a flash drive I guess.

No matter which of the Shift keys I held, I never got a grub menu. Help?

What distro and how are you running it?

I have the Qubes (4.0.1) ISO on my USB, and I currently have Windows 10. I'm running it by turning on my computer with the USB inserted and holding shift.
