Secure Boot Issues

    Hi all,


    I've changed my hard drive, and now I get boot issues.

    The only way I can get it to boot is by disabling secure boot. Now, it boots just fine. But secure boot, that's an anti-ransomware Microsoft feature, no? A benefit of a modern computer, I want to re-enable it.

    I used a restore of a Windows system image from my older hard drive on this new one. Perhaps, would there be a file / serial number mismatch?

    Thanks

    What operating system is it? Secure Boot is only supported by Windows 8 or later. The disk also has to be partitioned a certain way. (GPT rather than MBR)

    Nope. This is what it does.
