When I go in the BIOS the entry "secure boot" is grayed, and I don't know how to enable it.

Hi:

 

Is Windows installed in UEFI Mode?

 

If so, unfortunately, I would not know why you can't enable secure boot.

 

If Legacy mode is enabled in the BIOS, you have to disable it and then you should be able to enable secure boot.

 

In the system information app, you can check to see if W11 is installed in UEFI mode.

If your notebook's BIOS mode is set to Legacy, you will need to install W11 from an EFI boot source.

Hi, thanks for replying.

Legacy Mode was already disabled in the BIOS and my notebook's BIOS wasn't to Legacy, but I found out that I just needed to Load HP Factory Default Keys: then I've been able to enable secure boot.

Anyway, thanks for helping.
