Installing WIN11

Ask Fedora
1

At the moment I have Fedora installed and if wanted to install Win 11.
The process of adding a dual boot would be overly complicated.
Furthermore, my problem is my secure boot fails and I can only run Fedora if it’ turned off.
What scares me is if I am performing a clean installation on Win 11 and it get’s stuck on secure boot.

What are the details of the secure boot failure?
Is your hardware windows 11 compatible?
Is your BIOS up to date?
Is your system very old? Old BIOS may have buggy firmware.

Post the output of inxi -Fzxx so we have a view of your hardware.
