Secure Boot & Rescue USB

[Ruud_vd_Horst]

My Desktop HP Envy All-In-One with Windows 10 has Secure Boot enabled. That is a good thing. However, will a HP rescue USB work if Secure Boot is enabled? From the knowledge base I understood that bootable devices will be blocked. Anyhow I have to change the boot order because by default the first one is the OS Boot Manager.

Hi

Dunno.

What I do is make a Microsoft USB that will work from here, and add in HP software etc as needed.

To get started, you will first need to have a licence to install Windows 10. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.

ESC and F9?

Sorry, I am pretty sure Secure Boot will block this device. See:

The question is, will this also be the case with a HP software loaded usb. See:

No doubt you are right.

I just considered the case where a PC/BIOS does not have a Legacy option, it is only a secure boot Main Board.

Asus et al seem to do Secure Boot only.

Linux Distro's will boot on a Secure Boot system I am sure.
