  • It’ll force upgrades in certain circumstances to keep the PC in support
  • This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

    Always remember to disable secureboot and remove bitlocker before installing linux on a oem windows machine. They make it hell to remove that malware from newer machines.

      Bitlocker doesn’t mean anything when you delete its partition.

      I would recommend keeping secure boot enabled if your OS supports it, and manually enrolling the key if it doesn’t. Boot chain attacks are a real concern.

        Some linux installers will refuse to erase the bitlocker partition automatically. Then you have to manually erase it before running the installer.
