i am trying to enable secure boot but it is greyed out even after disabeling legacy and i read that i should load hp factory default keys.

What does this feature do and will it delete something from my bios and computer.

Just so you know, enabling Secure Boot with an already installed OS may cause you not to be able to boot into the existing OS.

 

Loading HP factory default keys when you have a working notebook and installed OS is playing with fire.

 

It will set everything in the BIOS to default  and may cause your notebook to be unable to boot into the already installed OS.

 

It won't delete anything on the hard disk, but if you can't access it normally like you could before doing this, it would be like having been burned and frustration would begin.
