Solved Hyper-V Gurus - problem boot from ISO with secure boot

jimbo45 · Jan 2, 2022

Hi folks

Trying to create a VM (Gen 2) with secure boot enabled -- ISO won't boot. Boots OK if secure boot disabled.

This is OK for a Linux VM but if I want to create a W11 VM from an iso how do I get the install ISO to boot to the VM with secure boot when installing the OS or can I enable it after installing the OS. Funny thing is it also works OK on Gen 1 VM but obviously I want a Gen 2 VM.

Cheers
jimbo

Yeah not checked for a while but I remember something like this at one time. I am not at home but wil check. Pretty sure you can enable secure boot after installation.
