This has absolutely no impact on day-to-day Windows use — Windows 11 loads and runs fully, and the machine can boot from a USB drive, PXE network, or the internal SSD as normal. The only restriction is that you cannot enter the BIOS\/UEFI setup interface to change firmware settings such as Secure Boot, boot priority, or power options.

This means you cannot open the BIOS\/UEFI setup menu or change any firmware settings — boot order, Secure Boot, power options, etc. Windows 11 starts and runs completely normally. You can boot from a USB drive, from the internal SSD, or via network (PXE) — all without entering any password. The BIOS lock only applies to accessing the setup menu itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"faq-q\" style=\"font-weight:600;margin-bottom:2px;\"\u003eCan I reinstall or change the operating system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"faq-a\" style=\"margin-top:0;\"\u003eYes. Because the laptop boots from USB and network, you can load a Windows installer or Linux live environment from a USB drive and install a new OS to the SSD. You just cannot change the underlying UEFI configuration (such as disabling Secure Boot) while doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"faq-q\" style=\"font-weight:600;margin-bottom:2px;\"\u003eDoes the 12-month warranty cover the BIOS lock?\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"faq-a\" style=\"margin-top:0;\"\u003eNo — the BIOS lock is a disclosed condition of sale, not a hardware defect.
