If the system is using BIOS (legacy), you must convert the system drive from MBR to GPT, switch to UEFI mode, and then enable Secure Boot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a>, enabling Secure Boot can be a bit tricky to explain because the operating system can run on either <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/check-bios-uefi-windows-10\/\">Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)<\/a> or legacy Basic Input\/Output System (BIOS) firmware.<\/p>\n<p>If the device is <strong>already using UEFI<\/strong>, you can simply access the firmware and enable the security feature.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if the <strong>computer uses BIOS<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll have to take extra steps to convert the current partition style from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) before switching from BIOS to UEFI and enabling Secure Boot on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Secure Boot?<\/h2>\n<p>Secure Boot is a UEFI firmware security feature that only allows trusted software to load during startup, protecting against boot-level malware (such as bootkits, rootkits, and, in this case, game cheat systems). Although Windows 11 recommends Secure Boot, it&#8217;s not always enabled by default.<\/p>\n<h2>Why turn on Secure Boot?<\/h2>\n<p>On Windows 10, it&#8217;s not a requirement to turn on Secure Boot to install the operating system, but it&#8217;s a recommended component, as more applications now require it. It is also a standard practice to help protect your computer from malware and rootkits that can infect the boot process.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">For instance, if you have a gaming rig, some games (such as Battlefield 6) require Secure Boot to ensure that they meet the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/en\/games\/battlefield\/battlefield-6\/news\/secure-boot-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mandatory anti-cheat requirement<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why turn off Secure Boot?<\/h2>\n<p>In rare cases, enabling Secure Boot might interfere with older hardware or non-Windows operating systems. You might need to disable it temporarily (or keep it turned off) in such scenarios. However, for optimal security, it&#8217;s generally recommended to keep it enabled.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">In this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide<\/a>, I will walk you through the steps to turn on Secure Boot on Windows 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#enable_secureboot_uefi\">Enable Secure Boot on Windows 10 (UEFI)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#enable_secureboot_bios\">Enable Secure Boot on Windows 10 (BIOS)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"enable_secure_boot_windows10\">Enable Secure Boot on Windows 10 (UEFI)<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running Windows 10 on modern hardware, your computer may already be using the UEFI, which also means that your current setup is using the GPT partition style.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you only have to confirm whether Secure Boot is enabled, and then continue with the steps if it&#8217;s disabled.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"check_secure_boot_windows11\">1.
