Kali does not see or Windows installation does not see?
If installation, then check that the flash drive is plugged into USB 2.0, because Windows 7 is not installed with 3.0
. A colleague wrote above about the visibility of the disk when installing Windows 7.

you need to deal with the bios. Kali is out of business here. options:
- maybe your partition on the flash drive does not have the "active" (bootable) flag
- maybe the laptop is configured only for UEFI, then take out7 does not dance, from 8 and above (I personally only recognize 10ku already)
.. and in any case - preferably a clean distribution, not "assemblies"

switch the sata controller in the bios to IDE mode, or integrate the SATA driver into the distribution kit that is written to the flash drive

It's not difficult to remove it,
but why? Even after uninstalling without choosing a boot source, you still won't boot from the flash drive, because grub will boot in recovery mode.
You just need to choose to boot from a flash drive.
To do this, you need to go into BIOS and set the boot priority from a USB flash drive, or when you turn it on, press a certain key to enter the boot menu. On stationary PCs, this is usually one of the F10 - F12 keys. Usually a message indicating the key appears after pressing the power button.
If, after entering this menu, the flash drive is not in the list, then either use a different port, or try to overwrite the flash drive.
