Windows 10: I would like to switch to Windows 11, but I can't manage to enable Secure Boot.

Recently, I decided to switch to Windows 11. I managed to resolve the TPM 2.0 requirement but I got stuck with Secure Boot. I watched a few videos and tried to follow the steps on my PC, but after making certain settings, the system simply sent me back to the BIOS when I saved and restarted my computer. Can anyone help with this?

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

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:

• 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.
