The MS requirements for Windows require secure-boot enabled by default and only with the MS key. It is optional whether OEMs allow secure-boot to be disabled and/or set to a mode where other signing keys can be added.

- xenocratus 6y agoI see a bunch of recent tutorials when searching for how to do this, e.g. for Acer Windows 10 laptops: https://medium.com/@acerrepaircenter/how-to-enable-or-disable-secure-boot-on-acer-laptop-c336593f2a26 https://medium.com/@acerrepaircenter/how-to-enable-or-disabl... Microsoft also seems quite positive about the option being there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/disabling-secure-boot https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactur... Edit: fair enough, sounds about right!
