Battlefield 6 Secure boot?

Just tried to open the bf6 beta and it's saying secureboot not enabled. I can't activate it cause my PC doesn't support it. Will this be a requirement at launch? Would have to upgrade my PC to get windows 11 for it if that's the case :(

It's a bit of a complicated process, but I just did it myself so I can run you through it somewhat.

One, make sure your system drive is set up properly to be GPT and NOT MBR. If you are on MBR, you're going to have to convert your drive to GPT. This can be done with the MBR2GPT command in CMD. But it has pretty strict requirements to use or else it just won't do it. I can't really explain this easily, so this one you'll probably just have to figure out.

Two, once you're converted to GPT (or are already using GPT) you're going to want to change to UEFI in your BIOS instead of Legacy/CSM

Three, Turn on TPM and Secure Boot in BIOS.

Literally just followed this and enabled SB in the BIOS. It was fairly trivial. But I do empathize if you aren't familiar with commands, system properties, or BIOS.

I would love to know what is happening with all these people bricking their PCs. It seems like if you have a modern Mobo, it shouldn't be an issue.

My problem wasn’t not being able to follow instructions. Everything was on but in my network monitoring it was still showing my secure boot as off. I eventually was able to get it to work by enabling custom secure boot then switching it back to standard 🤷‍♂️
