    Windows 11 Install: Secure Boot Is Enabled But It Thinks It Isn't


    Hello!Recently, I installed a new main drive to replace my small, old, main drive. I have successfully installed Windows 10 but go to try and make the upgrade to Windows 11 and it states Secure Boot must be enabled. However, I know that it is already enabled as I had Windows 11 installed before on the old drive. Checking System Information it also says that Secure Boot is Unsupported.Extra details:Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450-PlusCPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600If anyone has any idea what to do here please let me know!Cheers!

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    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.
