Can I use wubiuefi on secure boot windows11?

[harrier77]

I want to use wubiuefi to install kubuntu on a laptop with Windows 11, password protected bios and secure boot. Is it safe to try it? If something goes wrong and the windows boot manager can not boot installation, will the normal Windows booting still go on without problems? And can I use kde Neon instead of kubuntu?
Ps: I don't know the bios password, so I can not boot from usb to fix boot if something goes wrong.

If something goes wrong, it's unlikely to break Windows. I think wubiuefi can handle secure boot.

I do not recommend that you install Wubiuefi with Secure Boot without knowing the BIOS password. Of course, Wubiuefi does not destroy the Windows boot option and that option should also the default one. But it is safer if you can use UEFI boot menu in BIOS, too.

I had a similar problem. I bought a used laptop with a BIOS password so I couldn't change any boot settings. Despite having Secure Boot State property set as OFF, it was impossible to boot from a flash drive to install Linux.

Hopefully, I found this repo and it really solved my problem. I would like to extend my sincere respect and appreciation to the creators of this software!

I didn't try yet, but my aim is not a wubi installation on a big file in NTFS partition, I would try to boot an iso with wubi and install on a regular Linux partition.
