Why would non techie people be building their own computers instead of buying from an OEM? Or installing an alpha OS that, on first release, didn't even tell you why it wasn't compatible?
> Do we even know if UEFI compatible hardware and SecureBoot is enabled by all OEMs by default?
If they have a Windows 8 sticker on them, or above, yes.
- tyingq 5y agoTPM isn't necessarily enabled though. And it might require a TPM BIOS upgrade to 2.0.
- staticassertion 5y agoTPM 2.0 requirement was announced to OEMs back at the 8.1 launch I believe. If they haven't been pushing TPM 2.0, talk to your OEMs.

Because building a computer is very easy as doesn't require deep knowledge of the inner working of BIOS. I put together IKEA furniture, despite not having a deep understanding of carpentry. I added a dimmer light switch in my house, despite not being an electrician. There are many people that can build a computer and troubleshoot 95% of the basic simple problems that come with that, but are not deeply technical.
- staticassertion 5y agoNone of what was described in that post sounded like it required any kind of deeply technical knowledge to solve at all.
