Enable Secure Boot After Windows 11 Install?
I just built a new PC and everything is working perfectly. After getting windows set up and installing all programs I noticed that secure boot was not enabled. I assumed since win 11 requires it, that it would have to be enabled before install, but that didn't happen.
After reading some posts about problems enabling secure boot after-the-fact, that if I do so I am going to have problems. So the question is, should I try enabling secure boot or just leave well enough alone? System specs below.
