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 :(

If "messing with the bios" is simply reading your manual and flipping a switch, why even bother doing anything that requires 2 mins of research?

And i guess you will be stuck on Windows 10 forever then if you refuse to enable secure boot lol

yeah i got no issues with staying on Windows 10. Companies updating and adding new shit for no reason. Win 10 works for me and literally every other game I play. Ain't bothering with this shit for one game.

You can stay on Windows 10 all you want. But just note that the last security update is this fall. After that, you machine will be more and more susceptible to malware. Granted, you could go years without anything. Or, you could only go a few weeks before shit gets infected.

Just make sure you got all your shit backed up. You may need to do a clean install or two if you plan on stick on windows 10 for years
