General • Problems with new boards

Hi All,
With my first time trying the pi - pico2:
The main issue seems to be that the usb serial port is not being established.

To program your device, follow these steps:

Push and hold the BOOTSEL button while connecting your Pico with a USB cable to a computer. Release the BOOTSEL button once your Pico appears as a Mass Storage Device called RPI-RP2.

Drag and drop the MicroPython UF2 file onto the RPI-RP2 volume. Your Pico will reboot. You are now running MicroPython.

Access the REPL via USB Serial.
So: When plugged in to either a Debian OR windows os - with or without the bootsel switch pressed, the device shows up in Mass Storage Device mode, the RPI_PICO2-20241129-v1.24.1.uf2 file can then be dragged or pasted into the file explorer window. So far, so good. BUT then absolutely NOTHING happens. According to the instructions, the device should reboot and the MSD file access should be gone. I note that other documentation refers to a firmware.uf2 file - but this is not to be found...
So I've no good idea what to try next. This is the same with 2 out of the 4 boards that I have tried.
