I just got a new Thinkpad and went through this. The only extra step I had for installing Fedora was that the UEFI settings had the "Microsoft 3rd-party OS" certificate for Secure Boot disabled by default - went into the settings and enabled that, and then the Fedora installer would run. Also, after installing Fedora (which made GRUB the default UEFI boot option), booting Windows from GRUB gave an error because of the Bitlocker disk encryption and measured boot. I had to enter the key (logged in to my mandatory MS account to get it, I think you can also copy it to a USB drive from within Windows first) to get it to boot, and then it adjusted the security to handle booting from GRUB (with no error or key entry) after that. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
