    BitLocker and Secure Boot questions


    Secure Boot

    1. I had been hesitant enabling Secure Boot because I am just afraid it might cause issues and slow down my laptop's boot time. Secondly, if I reinstall Windows 10 using my bootable USB flash drive, will I have to disable Secure Boot temporarily before installing Windows 10 from the flash drive?

    I also have BitLocker enabled with Used Space Only encrypted. Will I also have to disable BitLocker before I enable Secure Boot?

    BitLocker and future releases of Windows 10

    1. When MS releases major upgrades such as the 1511 and 1607 releases, does BitLocker have to be Suspended or Disabled before upgrading to a new major release of Windows 10 or it is not required to do so?

    Anyways, whenever I do these major upgrade installs, I always tend to perform a Clean Installation rather using the In-Place upgrades.

    Please help - Thanks!

    I guess my post is a little bit too techy.

    My question is basically, that do I need to disable or enable BitLocker before I enable or disable Secure Boot or vice versa?

    Please explain.
