Ahh another reason to move away from Microslop.

The sole reason for Secure Boot is to force hardware manufacturers to pay Microslop for keys and certificates if you want to install non-microslop operating systems or custom boot software/tools, without just disabling "Secure Boot".

Also has a nice little added bonus of people not realising they need to turn it off in order to install most Linux distros which when they try, they find they cannot run it and because "head ache" they just simply go back to Windows.

It's kind of like nGreedia and the others involved in it, with the whole "12vh2 6x6x4 nuclear power and fire station required" power connection for new GPU's, force a new connector type and then force people to spend money on new power supplies because "you need this new connector to get full use from the card".

I have a Intel based system that has not had a bios update in over 12 months, the "Secure Boot" key's are still valid, meanwhile my AMD Systems, all have had to have a new bios in order to allow Windows 11 to be installed because without it, the "Secure Boot" keys are different and won't allow it to boot once the install is complete.
