Hi everyone! I'm considering enabling Secure Boot because I want to play some games like Battlefield and Warzone that require it. However, I've heard some concerns that it might cause issues, such as leading to endless boot loops or possibly erasing all the data on my hard drive. I'm trying to figure out if enabling Secure Boot is worth the risk for just a couple of games. Any insights would be appreciated!

Definitely safe to enable, and it’s recommended too! Just be aware that in some setups, it might conflict with your Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and lock your drive. To avoid issues, remember to back up your BitLocker recovery key if you’re on Windows. Here's a helpful link for that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-your-bitlocker-recovery-key-e63607b4-77fb-4ad3-8022-d6dc428fbd0d
Yes, Secure Boot is generally safe to use. That’s actually one of the reasons Windows 11 encourages it!
Got it, thanks! What should I check to see if I need to back up my BitLocker?
