    Hi I can’t enable my secure boot.I’ve tried to manually enabling the secure boot in bios but that didn’t work. I can only use legacy mode on my laptop idk why because my laptop worked perfectly fine before i got it repaired After i got it repaired a message almost always popped up before i could turn on my computer.I don’t really understand the message so i just select “no” I hope it’s enough info :Best regards Thi-An

  2. How to Enable Secure Boot on asus prime x470-pro

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    There is a very detailed guide here which provided step by steps instructions on how to enable this:

    https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-secur...

    I would suggest ensuring you have a backup of any important data before you start this process.

    If you are still not able to enable this, there is also a method to install Windows 11 on ‘unsupported hardware’, this would allow you to bypass the requirement for secure boot:

    Kind Regards,

  3. 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.
