    Is it possible to turn on Secure Boot WITHOUT using mbr2gpt?


    I've used Windows 11 two times, but I used a bypass system. This time I wanted to do it in legal way, however most of answers are to convert MBR to GPT using mbr2gpt, however, none of solutions were worked. I just wanna know, if it's actually possible to do that?

    :)

    Help with Gigabyte Mobo and Secure Boot

    csm provides support for os such as win7.

    gpt and mbr are partitioning styles set up when initializing the disk.

    it is possible to convert partition style using tools such as mbr2gpt ( though it it is quite picky ) or aomei partition assistant ( pro version and up ) or diskgenius free version - which involves a couple of manual steps and is more flexible.
     
  3. 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.
