    BIOS shows UEFI. Secure Boot is Disabled. Should I leave it disabled for Windows installation?

    I use Secure Boot enabled for all OS.

    Installed the operating system. I'm going to enable Secure Boot.
    I partitioned the SSD into C (system) 120 GB and D (data) the remaining GB.

    I'll post an update after everything is completed.

    Thank you very much for your assistance and time.

    How can I tell if the laptop has two SSD slots without opening it?

    How can I determine whether the laptop's display is 100% sRGB?

    It's in my BIOS under System Info.

    M.2 slots.

    @Brian K personally got me started on this approach, plus Terabyte's BootIt-UEFI which is awesome for this. :thumb:
    I have 3 Win 10 partitions with different security combinations (for fun), a Win 11 Insider partition and a separate data partition, all on a 512 GB SSD.
    All imaged (MR + TB) to external drives, data (and images again) with Bvckup 2.

    The BIOS displays NVMe1 and NVMe0. Does this imply two slots?

    What about 100% sRGB?
    I began by purchasing a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop from Amazon India. I returned it as the videos and images' colors appeared washed out on the TN display.
    I then placed an order with Lenovo India for a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. It could be customized, and the display featured three options:
    35.56cms (14) FHD (1920 x 1080), TN, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 250 Nits (Included)
    35.56cms (14) FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 300 Nits (1,000 INR)
    35.56cms (14) FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 100% sRGB, 300 Nits (6,300 INR)
    I went with the 100% sRGB, 300 Nits option. I'd like to double-check if the display is what I expected.

    Control Panel, Colour Management, Devices tab.

    What is your ICC Profile?

    Control Panel, Color Management, Devices tab
    Device - Display: 1. Wide viewing angle & High density FlexView Display 1920x1080 - AMD Radeon (TM)
    There is also a section called "Profiles associated with this device," but it is empty.

    Then there is no Colour Management in place.

    Put a tick in "Use my settings for this device". Now the Add button becomes active.
    Click Add. In ICC Profiles, select sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    OK
    click Set as Default Profile

    Does that sound appropriate?

    It's useful when you're unhappy with the displayed colors or want more accurate colors.

    I wanted to know if the sRGB coverage was 100%.
    I obtained the monitor manufacturer's name using HWiNFO. I looked it up on https://www.panelook.com. The display features 100% sRGB coverage.

    There have been four to five BIOS updates for this laptop model, as per Lenovo's driver update page. Should I update the BIOS?

    Update using the latest BIOS file. You don't have to use the non latest ones.
