At the moment, NixOS/Clan does not support [Secure Boot](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Secure_Boot). Therefore, you need to disable it in the BIOS. You can watch this [video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKVShiMUePc) or follow the instructions below:
|
|
|
|
## Insert the USB Stick
|
|
|
|
- Begin by inserting the USB stick into a USB port on your computer.
|
|
|
|
## Access the UEFI/BIOS Menu
|
|
|
|
- Restart your computer.
|
|
- As your computer restarts, press the appropriate key to enter the UEFI/BIOS settings.

Pressing the key quickly and repeatedly is sometimes necessary to access the UEFI/BIOS menu, as the window to enter this mode is brief.

|
## Access Advanced Mode (Optional)
|
|
|
|
- If your UEFI/BIOS has a `Simple` or `Easy` mode interface, look for an option labeled `Advanced Mode` (often found in the lower right corner).
|
|
- Click on `Advanced Mode` to access more settings. This step is optional, as your boot settings might be available in the basic view.
|
|
|
|
## Disable Secure Boot
|
|
|
|
- Locate the `Secure Boot` option in your UEFI/BIOS settings. This is typically found under a `Security` tab, `Boot` tab, or a similarly named section.
|
|
- Set the `Secure Boot` option to `Disabled`.
|
|
|
|
## Change Boot Order
|
|
|
|
- Find the option to adjust the boot order—often labeled `Boot Order`, `Boot Sequence`, or `Boot Priority`.
|
|
- Ensure that your USB device is set as the first boot option. This allows your computer to boot from the USB stick.
|
|
|
|
## Save and Exit
|
|
|
|
- Save your changes before exiting the UEFI/BIOS menu. Look for a `Save & Exit` option or press the corresponding function key (often `F10`).
|
|
- Your computer should now restart and boot from the USB stick.
