                No you definitely do because I can't install windows 11 from 10 for that reason. And If I enable secure boot my boot drive goes missing because its using the motherboard legacy boot rather than the uefi one with secure boot. I would basically have to reformat my boot drive to enable secure boot which is long.

                SecureBoot can't stop piracy, because by spec it requires that users are allowed to upload their own keys to the key storage - authorizing whatever the frick boot loader or kernel modules they want.

              MBR or the ESP.
              Modern systems don't use a MBR at all when EFI-booting.
              Personally I'm not sure SecureBoot is all that useful in practice. Not on a typical desktop installation. Once a malware has the privilege to modify the MBR/ESP in the first place, it's already too late. You're probably gonna have to reinstall to get rid of it anyway. I mean, it's not entirely useless but the primary motivation behind SecureBoot is probably to make it harder to use alternative OSes. They don't have to make it impossible, just more of a hassle or make it appear "insecure".

                i think that's the thing though, without the proper keys, it can't alter the boot sector. But yes, it absolutely made it more difficult for linux distros to be installed on MB's (particularly from prebuilts like dell or HP)

                it was pushed by MS, so you really do need to assume nefarious intent dressed up as "this is good for you"

      On Windows 10 you can.
      Just not on Windows 11, which has SecureBoot as a prerequisite system requirement.

      EA - or more precisely: the vendor of whatever anti-cheat EA shoved into FIFA '23 - probably have a check for the status of SecureBoot in the anti-cheat kernel modules.
      Requiring SecureBoot to be enabled for the game to run, is just another line of defense against loading up kernel modules that enable cheats and can hide themselves from the anti-cheat.
      With SecureBoot, they cannot be made to load without being digitally signed.

      It's nothing more than a speedbump to dedicated cheaters, because UEFI SecureBoot by spec requires that vendors implementing it for their motherboards must enable users to push their own additional allowed keys into the UEFI. But it certainly helps against the average Joe grabbing a random cheat 'from teh internetz.'

        That's what I'm saying. It's a requirement. Just because you can change some registry files around to bypass it doesn't change that requirement.

              It used to not be required for older Win 10 machines. My old PC was Win 11 without secure boot functionality. If I try fresh installing Win 11 on it now, it won't work tho.

    This wouldn't have happened if you switched to Linux.

    Most every game nowadays is easily playable on Linux.

      I could list a bunch of games that don't work but rather than admit they don't work you'll start coping about how they're supposedly bad games and it's a good thing they don't work

          Because they have no emotions.

          Because their identities are literally shaped solely around what's trendy to consume at the time, be it products, services, corporations, narratives or personalities(e-celebs).

    >upgrade to Windows 11
    that's your fault
    >but is new
    windows 10 works fine and still has several years of support, so there is no reason to upgrade unless you want to be a beta tester in the same way that happened with windows 10 a few years after it was released

      Win 11 is basically just Win 10+

        it will have better things, but you're still a beta tester with updates that break things
        at least wait a few years for the OS to mature more

          Win 11 is barely a new OS lol. The only thing you're beta testing is the new UI.

            directx12 ultimate is also new UI?
            they add new features beyond the UI anon
            and as usual, they will end up breaking things the first few years after release
            >Win 11 is barely a new OS lol.
            don't trust that win 11 is safe just because it has many things from win 10, remember that they still have internal things from windows 98 and below, pic rel

        More like Win 10- if you look at all the usability mishaps and shortfallings it introduced and continues to introduce.

        Unless apocalyptic events sweep the earth, that is literally never going to happen. Megacorporations like microshit and israelitegle are what is called "natural monopolies".
        In layman's terms, that'd be like every ISP digging up streets to reinstall new telephone cables every time someone contracts internet. That's never going to happen, it's literally impossible, so everyone uses the telephone cables laid by whatever government was setting up infrastructure 100 years ago.

          yeah i know, as long as MS office and exchange exist, MS is worth billions.

          but then again, a few years ago zuck was considering a career in politics, and FB would have been on that list of yours. one can only hope.

            Microshit and israelitegle were mere examples, gaybook is indeed a natural monopoly as well. Also I don't know if you're being facetious or simply are fricking stupid, but office and exchange are not what's keeping microshit afloat. It's their monopoly over data centers(ie your servers), supercomputers, contracts with every globalist on planet earth, patents, technology, access to deep state inteligence and infrastructure.

            If microshit had its own mines and fabricated its own semiconductors, it'd be stronger than most in the G20.

    Doesn't Windows require secure boot in order to be installed?

    Why do I get the feeling OP followed instructions to turn it on and then after installing windows turned it off and is now surprised how moron behavior is causing issues?

      i think 11 does (TPM/secureboot). normally what i do when setting up a new system is just make a USB boot disk via rufus for a VL edition of 8.1 i have lying around, then once that's installed the 'free upgrade' to 10.

      i'm sure they'll clamp down on that at some point to force adoption of their pet moron, W11.
