If you want to know how to enable or disable 
secure boot in Windows 11 or 10, you are at the  

00:07.120 --> 00:17.760
right place as we have the way n how to do that.
Let’s get started. 

00:17.760 --> 00:22.600
This is Windows Club.
To ensure that Windows 11/10 remains  

00:22.600 --> 00:30.040
safe from Malware, Microsoft enabled support 
for Secure Boot, which works on top of UEFI. 

00:30.040 --> 00:35.640
Secure Boot makes sure that when your 
PC boots up, it only uses firmware  

00:35.640 --> 00:40.560
that is trusted by the manufacturer.
However, many a time because of some  

00:40.560 --> 00:47.240
hardware misconfiguration, you will need 
to disable Secure Boot in Windows 11/10. 

00:47.240 --> 00:53.360
Let’s get started.
• How To Check If Your System Has Secure Boot? 

00:53.360 --> 00:57.680
Just before you jump to disable 
Secure Boot, because you can,  

00:57.680 --> 01:04.320
let’s find out if your PC has Secure Boot.
Open Windows Security using the search menu. 

01:04.320 --> 01:08.760
Click on Device Security.
In the next screen if you see Secure Boot  

01:08.760 --> 01:16.440
mentioned, then your PC has it, else it doesn’t.
If it’s available, you will know if it actually  

01:16.440 --> 01:21.480
turned on for your PC. We 
recommend you turn it on. 

01:21.480 --> 01:25.280
If you want to have Secure Boot 
on your PC, you will need to buy  

01:25.280 --> 01:32.000
a new PC from the OEM that supports it.
Assuming you have Secure Boot and it’s  

01:32.000 --> 01:40.160
turned on, let’s figure out how to disable it.
• How To Disable Secure Boot On Windows 11? 

01:40.160 --> 01:50.520
Each PC has a different BIOS key. The general 
BIOS keys are F1, F2, F9, F10, or Del. But they  

01:50.520 --> 01:54.760
will differ as per the motherboard.
If you don't know the BIOS key,  

01:54.760 --> 02:01.960
check the manufacturer's manual and keep it handy.
Keep pressing the BIOS key to enter BIOS. You can  

02:01.960 --> 02:07.440
also enter BIOS from Windows Settings.
Press Win + I to enter Settings.  

02:07.440 --> 02:10.920
Then select Recovery.
Next, click on the Restart  

02:10.920 --> 02:17.640
Now button beside the Advanced Startup option.
From the Advanced Options, select Troubleshoot. 

02:17.640 --> 02:24.120
Next select Advanced Options > 
UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart. 

02:24.120 --> 02:28.680
This will help you to enter 
BIOS or the UEFI Settings.

02:28.680 --> 02:34.320
Then select Boot, System Configuration, 
or Security option. This will depend  

02:34.320 --> 02:38.720
upon your BIOS settings.
Select the Secure Boot option.  

02:38.720 --> 02:44.960
If you cannot find the Secure Boot option, 
click on CSM Support and disable the option. 

02:44.960 --> 02:49.520

you will find the Secure Boot option.

03:06.680 --> 03:13.120
default settings for reactivating Secure Boot.
After disabling Secure Boot and installing  

03:13.120 --> 03:18.680
other software and hardware, it may be 
difficult to re-activate Secure Boot  

03:18.680 --> 03:26.320
without restoring your PC to the factory state.
Also, be careful when changing BIOS settings. 

03:26.320 --> 03:34.200
