Microsoft is updating the Secure Boot certificates for Windows on all compatible PCs before the expiration of the old ones set for June 24. The purpose of Secure Boot is to verify, even before Windows starts, that the system has not been tampered with by malicious software. Most of the certificates currently in use date back to 2011 and will expire in June 2026. To avoid security issues on millions of PCs, Microsoft has begun rolling out the new Secure Boot 2023 certificates. What do you think of this initiative by Microsoft to enhance the security of our computers?

For PCs over five years old, switching to Linux Mint (for example) will spare you from all the troubles caused by Windows.
We recommend, moreover, disabling SecureBoot, which has the unfortunate habit of preventing the installation of other systems.
