    Secure Boot Issue


    I have a Gigabyte H310M S2 2.0 motherboard. As I am running win 10 home.. I wanted to upgrade to Win 11. However , just as required I enabled TPM in my motherboard, then installed Win 10 by converting SSD to GPT partition . When I tried to enable secure boot from the bios, my motherboard got bricked and I have to give it to the service centre. They reset my bios and updated SMBIOS from 2.8 to 3.1 version. I want to enable secure boot but I have the same fear of again getting my motherboard bricked. What to do? Can anybody help me with this.System Stats:Gigabyte H310M S2 2.0Geforce GT 710 2 G

    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

    • 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.

    Secure Boot Issue

    Secure boot issues


    Hi, I am using an acer travelmate laptop and I'm attempting to boot from an official (I think) windows 10 DVD, I downloaded it using the media creation tool (as a dual x64-x86 iso) and created a bootable iso from the x64 portion (with imgburn) the disk definitely works as I tested it in a VM.
    However, when I attempt to get it to boot from this disk to reimage my laptop (system image was 'taken on a EFI' based firmware, even though I switched it to BIOS long before reimaging), no matter what I do it doesn't detect the dvd in the boot menu or show the 'hit any key to boot from a CD/DVD' screen, I have so far:
    Disabled UEFI all together; this resulted in the 'imaged on EFI, this computer is using BIOS' error
    Attempted to change the boot order; this couldn't be done, besides the (BIOS?) boot order was correct with CD/DVD at the top
    Gone through all the steps to disable secure boot (set firmware passwords and then disable secure boot); the DVD STILL doesn't show up.
    I still cannot change 'secure boot mode' as it's still grayed out on this annoying firmware

    Any suggestions as to how to get this ridiculous EFI firmware to recognise my bootable DVD?
