secure boot

My machine is over 10 years old, I cannot afford a new motherboard. Is Microsoft going to change these requirements. I really don't care about features of having TMP or Secure Boot.

Hello. I do a lot of cloning on all my machines, so far so good. I recently planned ahead and got a new laptop, to be able to go to W-11. Of course, I got one with Secure Boot. I am unable to do a clone any more as Acronis tries to boot from its USB media disk. I succeeded in getting rid of...

When I click under the above title it says 'I meet the requirements' and lists TPM 2.0, secure boot, UEFI, DEP etc.. I am confused as to whether I do or don't meet security requirements. Also does this tell me whether I can install Windows 11? Thank you P.S. I luckily flashed the Bios which...

Hello I have a Windows 10 Enterprise ISO that I added to a USB drive by using RUFUS. I disabled “secure boot” to get the usb to boot up to Windows 10 Enterprise, but it doesn’t recognize the M.2 SSD hard drive when it boots up. I assume that the SSD drivers need to be added to the bootable USB...

Hi I have installed Windows 8.1 on a separate drive. Windows 10 already installed on mt Dell desktop I have two questions : 1. Does or should I disable fast boot and secure boot in Bios? 2. I am using easy bcd to set up the dual boot option screen. Which bootloader should I use as default 10 or...

I have an UEFI-based ISO file for a tool on windows (This tool is NOT a WinOS but a separate utility tool). If I burn this ISO onto a DVD and boot it on an UEFI computer (without Secure Boot) everything works. However If I put this ISO with e.g. Rufus onto an USB flash drive then the USB flash...

Hi, I want to reinstall a fresh Windows 10 OS for the first time, years after using Windows 8.1 I take out the old OS drive, and put in a clean formatted drive for the new OS. Dell sent me a Windows 10 USB stick with this computer, so I'll use that. But now the puzzle of getting everything...

Hi forum This topic might already be touched on here but I couldn't find anything about it. I downloaded from the internet AIO Windows 7 ISO. I burned the ISO with RUFUS on a NTFS USB. When I inserted the USB into my computer and tried to boot from the USB it gave an error saying something that...

As you known there are many sofwtare tools available which offer not only a setup.exe but an ISO to download. This ISO can either be burned on a CD/DVD or put onto an USB Flash drive. I am NOT talking about Win10 ISO images but other software like (examples): - Gparted GParted -- Live...

I have a (new) Acer Swift notebook which does not allow to switch/enable Legacy BIOS mode. So I can only disable "Secure Boot" and use UEFI. However my bootable, GPT and NTFS formatted USB flash drive is NOT recognized or even bootable. It works on other computers. I read that FAT32 should be...

If someone comes across a way to disable secure boot without clearing keys, or if I do, it would be nice to have it posted here. Not holding breath though. My board is Asus TUF Plus z390 Gaming WIFI but a similar newer board might suffice. I will ask elsewhere although we should not double post...

Microsoft reports relate to a bogus update from Win Defender stopping some machines from starting when secure boot is turned on:
