How to enable secure boot in Windows 11

Enabling Secure Boot in Windows 11 is a great way to enhance your system's security. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Access your BIOS/UEFI Settings

Restart your computer.

During the boot process, press the designated key to enter BIOS/UEFI settings (commonly F2, F12, Delete, or Esc). The specific key varies by manufacturer, so look for a prompt on the screen during boot-up or check your PC’s manual.

2. Navigate to the Boot or Security Tab

Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Boot or Security tab in the BIOS/UEFI menu.

3. Locate the Secure Boot Option

Find the Secure Boot option and set it to Enabled. This option will be located under a sub-menu, so please explore it thoroughly.

4. Save and Exit BIOS/UEFI

Save your changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings. There is usually an option at the bottom of the screen or a designated key to press for saving changes.

5. Verify Secure Boot Status in Windows

After booting into Windows, type “System Information” in the search bar and check the Secure Boot State to ensure it is set to On. Of course, you could check this first to see if it's enabled, which might save you some time.
