How do I enable the Secure Boot UEFI Feature in my mobo?

I'm using a Dual UEFI Gigabyte GA-F2A75M-HD2 Rev. 1 Motherboard which should be able to "Secure Boot". I don't see an option in the BIOS Menu or maybe I wasn't able to see so if anyone knows I'd appreciate it if you can tell how.

BIOS Features >>----> CSM Support >>----> (select either) UEFI and Legacy or UEFI Only.

BIOS Features >>----> Storage Boot Option Control >>----> (select either) UEFI First or UEFI Only.

BIOS Features >>----> CSM Support >>----> (select) Always

BIOS Features >>----> Secure Boot >>----> (select) Enabled

BIOS Features >>----> Secure Boot Mode >>----> (select) Standard

ps:-

Please note, the above works only if both the following conditions are met:-

  • The architecture is x64-bit and
  • The BIOS is UEFI (at least an hybrid.)

Well UEFI and Legacy are selected but when I check PowerShell it says that it isn't supported therefore it isn't enabled.

That was the case for me, too until I got my UEFI (with GPT) after using a beta UEFI BIOS (and boy, does it rock.) :rockon:

I disabled UEFI on my laptop so I could use Windows 7 instead of Windows 8 (which 8 is not that great JUST YET.. needs many fixes)

Here's an illustration from my own BIOS - on a Gigabyte, one needs to scroll right down to the bottom:-

Sorry, I've been really stupid - should've posted a screenshot, long ago (this is another unique feature of the the UEFI - it permits a fair quality screenshot.) :)

Looks cool.-- May I ask is it tweaked?

By tweaking, if you mean OCed - then no (I've got all aspects of gaming locked down comprehensively on my system.)

If instead, by tweaking you mean configured - then yes (that's what I do for my bread and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . butter.)

:rofl: And yeah I meant overclocked.

I beta-test for GIGABYTE and remain a firm believer in system-wide configurations (not limited to the MotherBoard.) This allows me the concession of not having to resort to aggressive methods (like OC) that can cause collateral damage to my MotherBoard.

It also empowers me with more sophisticated control.
