    Windows 10 won't boot if I enable secure boot


    All I want to do is upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11! Been trying to get this sorted for well over 2 years now - bought the motherboard and CPU specifically so I could upgrade to Windows 11 as the previous one did not have encryption, so it's extremely frustrating to be £300 out of pocket just to accommodate Microsoft restrictions and it still doesn't work. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 on a B550M PRO-VDH MS-7C95Hard drives are GPT format.TPM or rather the AMD equivalent enabled in BIOSAll other minimum spec met or exceeded.PC Health Check continues to insist that TPM2.0 is not detected and it mus

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    • 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 10 won't boot if I enable secure boot

    Windows 8 Secure Boot: Designed to Lock Out Linux?

    from the article:
    translation:
    so if an oem manufacturer wants their firmware to enable secure boot with windows, it will be controlled and mandated by microsoft.

    in order to allow secured boot, they will need to follow msofts rules. since the signed os bit is part of UEFI anyway, i'm not sure what rules microsoft will impose, but this is fancy speak trying to hide the fact that they WILL mandate and control firmwares that enable secured boot for windows.

    not saying that does or doesn't make sense, they just deliberately tried to hide that point.
