How to fix "The PC must support secure boot" error during windows 11 install

Secure Boot is a security feature in modern computers that ensures only trusted software (like the operating system or firmware) can load during the boot process. It is part of the UEFI standard and helps prevent malware or unauthorized software from running at startup. And it is required by Windows 11!

How to Check if Your PC Has Secure Boot Enabled

1. Press Win + R, type 'msinfo32', and hit Enter.

2. Look for "Secure Boot State" in the right panel.

3. If it says "On", Secure Boot is enabled.

4. If it says "Off" or "Unsupported", your PC either doesn’t support it or it’s disabled in BIOS/UEFI.

Why Secure Boot Matters for Windows 11

• Prevents rootkits and bootkits from infecting the boot process.
• Required for Windows 11 (must be enabled to install).
• Enhances security against low-level malware.

Troubleshooting

1. If Secure Boot is unsupported, your PC may be using Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI.
2. Some Linux distributions may need additional steps to work with Secure Boot.

To fix "The PC must support secure boot" error, you need to turn on Secure Boot or apply some trick to skip Windows 11 system check as the PC has a very powerful CPU and a lot of RAM.
