    Will Enabling Secure Boot harm my PC?


    Hello I bought a new pc and I downloaded valorant and it asks me to turn on secure boot. Before i got this computer i enabled secure boot on a computer before and it didnt post so i had to reset the CMOS. So I'm asking if it will harm my Windows 11 PC in any way? Ryzen 5 7500FASRock A620M-HDV/M.232 GB OF CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 MEMORY FOR AMD EXPOASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4070512 GB of NVME GEN 4 SSD

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    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:

    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,

    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.
