When a computer starts up, the firmware, a type of software stored on a chip on the motherboard, initializes the hardware and loads the operating system. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a modern type of firmware that provides a more flexible and secure way to boot the computer. UEFI includes a feature called Secure Boot, which helps to protect the computer from malware by ensuring that only trusted software is loaded during the boot process.
Secure Boot is enabled by default on most new computers. However, you may need to enable it manually if you have an older computer or if you have disabled it in the past. To enable Secure Boot, you will need to enter the UEFI settings menu, which is typically accessed by pressing a key such as F2 or Del during the boot process. Once you are in the UEFI settings menu, you will need to find the Secure Boot option and enable it.
