What am I doing wrong here? The computer has Windows 11 on it but I don’t want to use it I want it all the way off the machine.
Can this installer not overwrite the Windows OS with Debian? Edit: Just want to say thanks to all of you I’m going to experiment around with the advice you all have given and see how it works out! Absolutely love the passion and helpfulness of this community here on Lemmy for real!
@BobGnarley Try disabling secure boot in the bios. And maybe UEFI boot path security - I think I’ve seen that cause issues in the past too.
On top of that. I just got a new laptop and bit locker was setup by default. Had to go into Windows and disable bit locker before disabling secure boot. I didn’t do that, RE enabled secure boot, then had to get the recovery key for bit locker.
And if it’s a Dell, set disk access from raid to AHCI.
I literally had to do this 2 days ago.
It is a dell its an Optiplex 3070 mini. You just boot windows into safe mode to change that right?
Probably something in the bios
