Appendix B - How to Disable Secure Boot

In order to boot from your Xtra-PC device, Secure Boot must be turned off. Secure Boot is a setting in your computer’s BIOS/UEFI.

If you try to boot to the Xtra-PC device with Secure Boot enabled, you will get an error message about “Access Denied” or “Authentication Issue.” The exact error will vary depending on your computer’s manufacturer.

This is an example error from an HP Laptop when Secure Boot is still enabled and trying to boot to the Xtra-PC device:
