Hey guys, I have 2 questions:

  1. Is it possible to install while having secure boot enabled?
  2. Is it possible to install (including the boot loader thing) on a specified drive? I want to be able to “dual boot” manually via BIOS setting of the startup drive, so I don’t have to mess up windows 11 installation on it’s drive and don’t want to have to fix mbr or whatever it’s called right now.

    • Not sure if the installer would run, you may have to disable secure boot just for that. But you can run Pop with secure boot although there is no built in support. You will have to sign the kernel yourself everytime there’s a new version.
    • Yes, from the custom install option you can set up the partitions however you like on the drives you select. If you don’t want to overwrite the Windows drive by mistake, you can physically disconnect it before installing Pop.

    1. yes, you can definitely specify which drive you want to install Pop_OS on. i currently do a dual boot on my PC between windows for gaming and everything else on Pop.
