Windows??

Yes, you can use Windows 10 and 11. They are not officially supported and the
|
||||||
|
Libreboot project recommends that you *avoid* this choice, because Windows is
|
||||||
|
proprietary software. What this means is that you do *not* have the freedom
|
||||||
|
to use, study, adapt and share the software in any reasonable way. You are
|
||||||
|
entirely at the mercy of Microsoft, whose motive is profit, as opposed to the
|
||||||
|
general advancement of computer science and the welfare of everyone.

||||||

||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to being proprietary software, Windows is known to be full of bugs,
|
||||||
|
including *backdoors*. When you *use* Windows, it will send information about
|
||||||
|
you to third parties, used for a variety of purposes such as advertising, but
|
||||||
|
it's quite possible that three-letter agencies may also receive your data if
|
||||||
|
you use Windows.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the sake of your freedom, you should never, ever use Windows. Use Linux or
|
||||||
|
BSD systems, which are well-supported. Anyway:

|
Of note: Windows 11 officially requires at least TPM 1.2 to be supported, and
|
||||||
|
it requires use of UEFI SecureBoot. To bypass this requirement, MajorGeeks has
|
||||||
|
a guide, see: <https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/bypass_tpm.html>

The person who tested this, being unable to peform a in place upgrade, i had to wipe the drive but no big deal.

|
|

The person who tested this also stated that they were unable to perform an
|
||||||
|
in-place upgrade from 10 to 11, so they had to wipe the drive and perform a
|
||||||
|
clean (note: not clean, because Windows is full of NSA spyware) installation.

In both cases, as shown above, the Windows operating system was booting from
|

SeaBIOS, with the coreboot framebuffer initialised at startup, on an Intel GPU

initialised via coreboot's *libgfxinit*, on November 2023 versions of Libreboot.

We do not yet support booting with UEFI on x86 machines.
