I found a Dell Wyse 5070 at a storage auction and was thrilled to set it up for a home lab, but I hit a snag. It's locked down, and when I try to install Windows, the BIOS shows "boot mode set to: UEFI; Secure boot: ON." I'm not sure how to tackle this issue. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

Just to clarify—are you installing Windows 11 on a Wyse 5070? It's important to know this is a thin client, not a regular PC. Did you check if there's a specific version of Windows that works better with it?
What version of Windows are you trying to install? Also, could you share the steps you took during the installation? A bit more detail would help diagnose the problem better!
I downloaded Windows 11 onto a USB and accessed the BIOS to start the installation.
I didn't realize it was a thin client! I just assumed it was a regular PC since people were recommending it to use for lab work.
