how to use secure boot ea

Secure Boot EA refers to enabling Secure Boot, a Windows security feature required by some EA games (including those using EA Javelin Anticheat) to ensure only safe software runs during startup. It prevents cheats and malware from affecting gameplay integrity.

How to Use Secure Boot EA (Enable Secure Boot for EA games)

1. Check if Secure Boot is enabled:
   • Press Windows Key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
   • In System Summary, look for "BIOS Mode" and "Secure Boot State".
   • BIOS Mode should be "UEFI" and Secure Boot State should be "On".
   • If Secure Boot is Off, proceed to enable it.
2. Prepare your system:
   • Ensure your Windows system drive uses GPT partition style, not MBR. Convert using mbr2gpt tool if necessary.
   • Make sure TPM 2.0 is enabled and your system is in UEFI mode.
3. Enable Secure Boot via BIOS/UEFI:
   • Restart your PC and enter BIOS/UEFI (commonly by pressing keys like F2, DEL, ESC during startup).
   • Navigate to the Boot or Security tab.
   • Set Boot Mode to UEFI if not already.
   • Enable Secure Boot (if disabled).
   • Save and exit BIOS.
4. After enabling, your system should boot with Secure Boot on, allowing EA games that require it to run properly.

This process helps reduce cheats by ensuring the OS and software loaded at boot are verified and trusted.
