HP ZBook Fury 16 G10 Mobile Workstation PC (7B632AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I want to exploreNixOS Without installing it. I made a bootable USB Drive.  I interrupt normal boot up using the escape key and then try to switch the boot device to the USB drive. I get an error message saying that the drive is not authenticated. I use the same USB drive on an old Windows machine. On that machine, I was able to boot from the USB drive. I can’t figure out how to allow it on my new HPZ book   Any help would be appreciated.

@Jonquil-Jeff,

 

From my experience, disable secure boot in BIOS and try again.

 

If your notebook is Bitlocker encrypted, the system may ask for BitLocker recovery key upon reboot after a required 4-digit pass code is enternd. 

 

So, it's imperative for you to get BitLocker recovery key before doing this task. If you are not sure how to get a recovery key, sign into your Microsoft account from Windows and follow the instructions at the link below.
