Did you format the USB to be bootable? The Microsoft Media Creation Tool does it for you but I'm not sure about Linux. If not, you'll have to use a program called RUFUS.
EDIT: I've never used one of the newer laptops so I'm not sure what the BIOS looks like. Are you able to post a screenshot of the Boot Menu?

Note, Dell Alienware do not support Linux on any Alienware models. All Linux discussion belongs on the Linux Forum board.
USB key drive = Removable Drive in boot options
It should be F12 to bring up the one time boot menu? From a powered off state, power on and tap F12 instead of pressing holding down the button.
