It's x86 so probably? Enjoy your downvotes for being antagonistic, though.



Yeah, I really had hard time sleeping because thinking of the downvotes...

Linux supports any architecture, that doesn't matter. I'm asking if anyone has tried or knows about this: Is there a bootlock? What's the shipped BIOS? Question is legit, this is M$ we're talking about, not precisely known for its openness. And just for asking, I'm being downvoted and called "antagonistic". You fanbois are just hilarious. It's called "freedom of choice". Yes, that actually exist outside your little world where companies decide what you have to use. I prefer to make my own choices. I might like the hardware design (which is actually nice, and M$ usually makes nice and functional hardware) but I don't like Windows. Period. In fact, I'm not even surprised of your answer and the downvotes, didn't expect otherwise from M$ fanbois ;)


Microsoft has a policy of no boot lock on x86, boot lock on arm. They are only anti-choice in certain situations.

I'm astounded that you can take an issue where microsoft has done something you agree with and turn it into a persecution complex.
