Strange problem when imaging new machine
Hi All,
I posted this in the 'general' category, but it may be better off in this sub-group!
I just got a new to me machine - Asus Z170-AR based machine. New hard drives, clean (reset bios).
I went through the process of updating the Win 7 installation (OEM MS) disk to add the USB 3 drivers - that went well, and I imaged the machine. Then I went to run the Simplix UpdatePack 7 / 2008 R2 21.12.15 and I got a secure boot violation and the maching refused to boot. about 1/2 way through the update process. I chose to ignore this (for now), deleted the various keys, and changed to 'other operating systems' in the UEFI boot choices.
That said, before I go live with this system - it will be replacing my current Win 7 box, did I do something dumb by ignoring the warning, or is this to be expected. I wanted to roll in the non-telemetry, non win-10 upgrade nonsense that MS was peddling, which is why I was using Simplex.
Comments?
Thanks
