Secure Boot question

[ssal]

In upgrading to Windows 11, the specifications require secure boot to be enabled.

I recall that I had it disabled because I had to boot from an USB bootable device to restore from a Macrum system backup.

That makes me think. Why are we given the option to disable it? Under what situation we need to disable it?

Basically it has to be disabled in order to run linux OS and other things. When they were always enabling them at the factory, you would have to disable them in order to boot to usb or cd/dvd.

That's how I remember it.
I disable it because I had to boot from a USB bootable device that I created with Macrum Reflect to restore the OS partition.

So does it mean that I will have to disable it when I need to boot from the USB. And re-enable it after the OS is restored?

Would Windows 11 run if I leave it disabled?
