As I'll began to work again in September, I need a laptop. I try to resuscitate my old Toshiba Satellite W-something installing Debian, but the old bastard seems locked.

Thee was a period in time (2012ish) where computers were switching from BIOS to UEFI's, so motherboard firmwaresmwere a buggy mess. Some laptop manufacturers cheated an implemented 'windows boot keys only', and secure boot would refuse anything else. If your laptop is from this era, try putting it's UEFI into bios emulation mode (and switching off secure boot if you haven't already done so). · 3 years ago
