Event details
What do people do where it's a non-business device, it's got win 11 but not on the boot certificates update list as only some devices have been added to it ?
How are normal users going to be able to do this ?

costs and Duration:
Is there a cost associated with the new certificates?
There is no direct cost for receiving the 2023 certificates using Windows Update, and the 2023 CAs are already available for free at [ hxxps://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-secure-boot-key-creation-and-management-guidance?view=windows-11]
However, BIOS updates for out-of-service devices may require manual intervention or service engagement, which could incur costs depending on support agreements.

Don't be afraid of the "minimum BIOS version required" or "compatible hardware" lists you can read on LENOVO, DELL, HP, ... Web Site. (in rare case you need to upgrade your Bios before using MS CA 2023 Process)
BIOS updates from your OEM will provide certificates stored in a dedicated area of the firmware — but the certificates needed to start the Secure Boot chain are actually provided by Microsoft through the process they described. And of course there is absolutely no cost involved.
If you only have a few devices, the simplest path is just to let Windows Update handle it — it will deliver the necessary certificates and boot loader updates automatically.
