I need to know if enabling Secure Boot on this is going to give me any crap, I've read the horror stories!

It doesn't have a TPM.

UEFI is enabled correctly I think, by the looks.

It's my only PC and I can't afford it to lock up on me.

Any help really appreciated, cheers.

I would take an image of the drive first using the likes of Macrium reflect or similar. You should do this anyway as a backup which you can restore from if the worst happens.

Are you wanting to install Windows 11 here by the way as you can bypass the checks; TPM and secure boot being two of them.

Yeah, good idea on the image. Thanks.
Not bothered about Win 11 to be honest, the only reason I need to enable Secure Boot is because game devs (EA in this case) are making it compulsory for some games now (BF2042) and look like implementing it for everything in the future. The fact that Secure Boot has already been surpassed by hackers with ease has failed to stop them. :rolleyes:
