Hello,

 

Surface Hub's Windows 10 Team Edition is a heavily locked down version with several security features in place that will prevent unauthorized access, including installing other operating systems (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/surface-hub-security#secure-boot). However, you should be able to unlock your UEFI as per this article. It would be best to raise a support case for Surface Hub if anything is unclear with this process or you have any issues with it.

 

Best regards,

Cezar

I posted a somewhat long reply to this but I am unsure where it went. Is it possible it was not approved? I can't find a way to see my replies pending approval. Is there a place to see that or know what happened to my reply comment? Thank you!
