Locked Boards and Laptops

Ignore this page if you don't have an aforementioned locked motherboard or laptop.

Enter your BIOS (commonly `DEL` or `F2`)

Go to the `Boot` section

Change your FIRST BOOT DRIVE to the newly created partition; it usually copies the name of your boot drive and may say something along the lines of UEFI Boot .

On MSI boards, it would usually be under UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities .

While still in `Boot`, go to `Secure Boot`

This is mostly for those who wish to play Valorant and wish to avoid popups. If you wish to have Secure Boot on, you MUST follow these steps or you will get Secure Boot Failure.

Set Secure Boot State to Enabled or Windows UEFI
Go to Keys Management

Press Restore Defaults

Click on the KEK key and press Append , then press No to pick your own file

Look for SecureBoot.der - it's usually in the 3rd or 4th folder. Look through them all until you find it. Once you do, press Public Key Certificate .
