↖ Checking Secure Boot Status and Prerequisites

Before beginning, please confirm that your system supports Secure Boot and that the required hardware meets the requirements.

1. Verify Secure Boot is Enabled

• - Press the Windows key + R to open the Run window.
• - Type `msinfo32` and press Enter.
• - In the System Summary, check the following:
• - BIOS Mode: It should display UEFI.
• - Secure Boot Status: It should display On.

If Secure Boot is not enabled, continue with the following steps.

2. Check the BIOS Mode

• - If the BIOS Mode displays UEFI, you can activate it directly.
• - If the BIOS Mode displays Legacy, check whether the Windows system partition is formatted as GPT (GUID Partition Table). If not, convert it to GPT.

3. Verify that TPM 2.0 is enabled

• - Press `Windows Key + R` to open the Run window.
• - Type `tpm.msc` and press Enter.
• - In the Status window, check whether "TPM Enabled" is displayed.

If TPM is not enabled, contact the device manufacturer for instructions on how to enable it.

4. Check the partition style (MBR or GPT)

• - Press Windows Key + X and select Disk Management.
• - Find the disk where Windows is installed (usually drive C).
• - Right-click the disk and select Properties.
• - Check the partition style in the Volumes tab:
• - If it says "GUID Partition Table (GPT)", no further action is required.
• - If it says "MBR", follow these steps to convert it to GPT:
• -- Press Windows Key + R to open the Run window.
• -- Type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open a command prompt as an administrator.
• -- Enter the following command to validate:
• --- mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS (replace `disk:0` with the disk number displayed in Disk Management).
• -- Enter the following command to convert:
• --- mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOS (replace the disk number as well).
• - After completing this, you may need to enter the BIOS setup and switch the system's boot mode to UEFI.

↖ Activating Secure Boot

After completing the above checks, you can activate Secure Boot by following these steps:

• Press the Windows key and type "Options for advanced startup" in the search bar.
• Click "Restart now" under "Advanced startup" to enter the Advanced startup menu.
• Select "Advanced options" from the menu, then click UEFI Firmware Settings.
• Once in the BIOS, find the "Boot" tab. If you don't find it, press F9 and search for the relevant setting.
• Enable Secure Boot in the "OS Type" section.
• If there is an "OS Type" option, set it to UEFI mode.
• Go to the "Exit" tab and select Save Changes and Reset.

Once completed, your PC will restart with Secure Boot enabled. In some cases, a second reboot may be required to ensure full activation.
