They enforce Secure Boot on Windows 11. It was always a requirement on Windows 8 and 10 but never actually enforced.
There's nothing to stop you from using Windows 10 or Linux on your hardware unless MS goes all anti-competitive and forces OEMs to build hardware that only runs Windows 11.

They didn't force OEMs, but some devices can only run Windows 8.1 with no ability to turn Secure boot off. > ARM-based Certified For Windows RT devices, such as the Microsoft Surface RT device, are designed to run only Windows 8.1. Therefore, Secure Boot cannot be turned off, and you cannot load a different operating system.
