"But It could not verify my key, that is buried in my motherboard."

Secure Boot systems verify your OS against a key stored on your hardware.




He's talking about Windows product key which has nothing to do with the secure boot key. You could have a properly activated Windows installation get stopped by Secure Boot because of failed boot kernel verification, or you could have Secure Boot verified boot failing Windows Activation.


I like the way you think.
