Ah, so it only needs to be "Secure Boot Capable". I'll leave it off then.
And yes, it's a single user computer.

By the way... I remember seeing a movie like that.

I leave mine off because it interferes with my MR rescue thumb. Easy to turn on/off.

I also use Reflect, Image for Windows and Drive Snapshot rescue UFDs.
I'm glad I checked before bothering to switch it on.

It makes me start to wonder if it would interfere with an operating system being installed from a UFD.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you. Broken link removed.

I added the link below for Windows 11, but I didn't have W11 tutorial for this since any W11 PC will have secure boot enabled by default since it's required.

Thanks.

The last paragraph of your new link confirms that secure boot is not enabled by default or needed before installation of Windows 11, as the requirement is only that the PC has the capability.

Yeah, you'll need to enable secure boot if it not already from an older PC or motherboard. Usually, anything designed for W11 will have it enabled by default.
