The error message posted is typical of an attempt to run updates on a system booted from a 'Live image' media.
A system running a Live image is not intended to be updated and will report this error.
If it is intended to run the OS from USB (rather than installing to a disk) extra steps are required to create a 'persistent' image when preparing the USB drive.
The problem you have appears to be that the laptop BIOS/UEFI is not recognising the new Linux installation as a viable boot source.
It is possible the installation didn't complete successfully - were there any errors reported ?
If the installation was good, next thing to look at is the BIOS/UEFI set up.
Remove the USB media and power up.
Watch carefully for a message saying something like 'To enter set up press...' and press the appropriate key - it could be F2.
Trial and error may be needed to get the timing right.
Once into BIOS/UEFI set up, you should be able to see what disks it sees and perhaps edit the boot order so that the Linux Lite installation is top of the list.
I'll move this post to the Installation section as it isn't really an Update problem.
