Enabling Secure Boot – Dade Series Notebooks

• Category: Enterprise Deployment & Admin
• Applies to: Dade X, Dade Pro, Dade II, Dade IIi
• OS: Windows 11 Pro

Secure Boot ensures your PC only runs trusted firmware and OS-level code. It’s critical for zero-trust environments, government IT, and enterprise rollout.

Steps to Enable:

1. Reboot the device and tap Del or F2 to enter BIOS
2. Navigate to Security → Secure Boot
3. Set Secure Boot = Enabled
4. Confirm Platform Key (PK) is installed
5. Save changes and exit

If “Secure Boot State = Off” in Windows, ensure system is using UEFI and not Legacy Boot.

Common Errors:

• Secure Boot won’t enable with Legacy boot enabled
• Third-party antivirus bootloaders may block key injection
• TPM must be provisioned and active
