How to Deploy IGEL OS 12 with IGEL OS Creator for Windows (OSCW)

The IGEL OS Creator for Windows (OSCW) is able to convert Windows machines to IGEL OS 12, provided that they fulfill the hardware requirements.

On modern computers such as secured-core PCs (see e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/business/devices?col=secured-core-pcs ), there may be a BIOS setting related to Secure Boot that allows the use of Microsoft’s 3rd party UEFI Secure Boot Certificate. The usual description of such a BIOS setting is "Allow Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA". This setting must be set to enabled, as IGEL uses the 3rd party certificate to support UEFI Secure Boot. If UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, but "Allow Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA" is not enabled, you may be unable to boot IGEL OS Creator or UD Pocket. Similarly, if the setting "Allow Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA" is disabled after a previous installation of IGEL OS, IGEL OS will fail to boot. For how to enable the setting, see Secured-Core PCs: Microsoft 3rd-Party UEFI Certificate for Secure Boot.
