Retrofitted a new SSD and Windows 8.1 - Secure Boot issue

[Mikoyan]

Hi all,

Strange issue, I retrofitted a clean and brand new SSD in a Lenovo X1 Carbon, no matter what I could not even use the standard recovery install disks to re-image this.

Had to in the end disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy\CSM, I am successfully booted into the OS.

Now if I try to enable Secure Boot, it refuses to load and boot into the os unless I turn off Secure Boot?

What is going on

Hi,

Yes did a recovery image creation via USB Stick via Lenovo Recovery. Did not use the Windows System Image though..

Latest BIOS update has been applied on the X1 Carbon 20A7

The MS link..

To work around this issue, Secure Boot must first be disabled before installing new hardware. For more information on disabling Secure Boot in your computer's BIOS, reference the manual that came with your motherboard or contact your motherboard manufacturer. If you are in an enterprise environment, contact your system administrator.

Thats what I did, as it was the only way to get it to work...but says nothing about re-enabling
