Windows 10: Secure Boot Enabled in BIOS, but not Windows 11

Hello!I've recevently been trying to get Secure Boot enabled on my machine, and I am at a bit of a loss. This came about as I was getting error "PCR7 binding is not supported..." error for device encryption, and after some research it seems like the likely culprit was that my Secure Boot State is off. I have gone through the steps I could find to get Secure Boot setup: ensured my boot drive is GPT, TPM specification number is 2.0, and I have gone through my BIOS settings and have enabled Secure Boot. However, no matter what I do Windows reports back that Secure Boot State is Off. Has anyone ha

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.

 

Windows 11 (Secure Boot)

I've been trying to get the requirements to upgrade to Windows 11. I have all other requirements except TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. I've enabled TPM 2.0 already in the bios and it's working fine. The picture below shows that I already have TPM 2.0 enabled and it shows on the security processor in Windows Defender. My main issue is Secure Boot. I go through the steps to enable secure boot with a simple search on Youtube, however, enable secure boot in the bios and I cannot exit it. When I save and exit the bios my computer restarts and puts me right back into the bios. The only way to exit the bios is to disable secure boot to go back to windows but I need this last requirement. I've heard something about "Convert MBR drive to GPT to enable UEFI and Secure Boot for Windows 11".
