  2. Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Oh and OSX
    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.

  4. How to turn on secure boot

    Secure boot isn't turning on in HP laptop (windows 11)

    Hello Mohd_357,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    I understand the frustration you’re facing with Secure Boot on your HP laptop. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

    1. Load HP Factory Default Keys:
      • Go into the BIOS settings.
      • Navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options.
      • Look for an option to Load HP Factory Default Keys. If available, select it.
      • Check if Secure Boot becomes available after doing this.
    2. Disable Fast Startup:
      • Boot into your operating system (Windows 11).
      • Open Settings.
      • Go to Updates & Security > Recovery.
      • Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”
      • Wait for your PC to boot into the system recovery menu.
      • Select Troubleshoot and then choose Advanced options.
      • Finally, select UEFI Firmware Settings.
    3. Check BIOS Mode:
      • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
      • If your notebook’s BIOS mode is set to legacy, you won’t be able to enable Secure Boot. You may need to reinstall Windows 11 from an EFI boot source.
    4. Reset BIOS settings to Default:
      • Reset BIOS settings may restore secure boot settings to normal factory state.

    Regarding TPM 2.0:

    • Your PC may not have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support, which is required for Windows 11.
    • Additionally, Windows 11 requires an Intel 8th gen core processor or newer.

    I hope it can solve your problem.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation.



    Best Regards,
