Hi Stefan,
the boot issue is worth fixing, it's almost certainly not a Tails 
problem, but how the image was written to USB.

Tails ships a .img, meant to be written raw/byte-for-byte to the stick, 
not mounted or burned as an ISO.

If you used Rufus in "ISO Image mode" instead of "DD Image mode," it 
rebuilds the partition table incorrectly and produces exactly the kind 
of "not a valid boot device" red screen you're seeing.

Best regards

Gabx
