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.
See: [What is Free Software?](https://writefreesoftware.org/learn)
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.
Are other operating systems compatible?
