    Can't enable Secure Boot


    Hello. I want to try Windows 11 but I am stuck at enabling Secure boot. I have Asus Prime B450m-k motherboard so I searched for how to enable Secure boot. None of the answers worked and there is no way to enable it. I have BIOS in Legacy mode, although I have changed everything to UEFI mode. But still no luck. I have checked on Asus website and it didn't work. What should I try next?

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.

    Hi ShowMeGirl1

    To enable Secure Boot, your PC must have UEFI BIOS and you need to boot your PC into BIOS

    Start your PC, on the manufacturers logo screen, there is generally an indication of how to boot your PC into Setup - usually it is F2, or F12 . .

    On the Manufacturers Screen, repeatedly press that appropriate key, so your system boots into BIOS

    If you do have UEFI, you will see the Secure Boot and legacy Boot options, turn off Legacy Boot (if applicable) and turn on Secure Boot

    Also Please Note: to enable Secure Boot, your hard drive must be GPT, not MBR!
