![]() ![]() And if you will NOT be able to boot the new OS with Secure Boot enabled, then you'd have to KEEP Secure Boot disabled permanently, not just during the upgrade. If you'll be able to boot the new OS with Secure Boot enabled, then you don't have to disable it temporarily during the upgrade process. ![]() I explained this a bit more in this post in another thread where you also made this claim, but due to the way Secure Boot works, there is absolutely no scenario where you'd have to temporarily disable it just for an upgrade. Microsoft has supported Secure Boot since Windows 8, and any upgrade from Windows 8 to any newer Windows 10 release can proceed just fine while Secure Boot remains enabled - assuming you're not using install media that has modified bootloader files, of course, but in that case you'd have to keep Secure Boot off permanently, not just have it disabled for the upgrade. If an application running within Windows could disable Secure Boot, that would rather defeat the point of Secure Boot, since that would mean malware that had admin access or could obtain it through a privilege escalation vulnerability could disable Secure Boot in order to infect the bootloader files with a rootkit.īut more to the point, Secure Boot absolutely does NOT prevent upgrading to a new Windows 10 release.
