Bad article. Author doesn’t seem to understand the difference between legacy BIOS and UEFI and how these two boot.
He enabled SecureBoot and disabled CSM (BIOS emulation) and was surprised he couldn’t get his system which was obviously installed in legacy mode to boot anymore. I stopped reading after that.
Oh, and he confused SecureBoot and TPM, too.

- wmf 5y agoAlmost no one understands those distinctions, so this article is representative of the hassles that many many PC enthusiasts face from Windows 11.
- andai 5y agoIf you stopped reading in the middle, then you missed the best part of the article, which is at the end.
- georgyo 5y agoI agree with you, I gave up on the article. However the the point he was trying to make is still valid. He considers himself "computer savvy" and learning all these new concepts is not going to be approachable to most people. And as such hardware that could run will not have the user knowledge to get it working. That said, I think Microsoft is doing the right thing here. The only way to move physical security forward is to make it mandatory. The same users who consider themselves technical are the most likely to implement the least possible security.
