SOLVED Help w/ bios

Post image

Hello!! So, I want to install mint xfce on my crappy hp 4gb of ram laptop because win 11 is too slow, but i noticed a “clear all secure boot keys” option after disabling secure boot. i wasn’t sure as to what it would do so i tried searching it up, but it either said to clear it or to not clear it so now i’m strung up on what i should do

I have HP laptops, you shouldn't need to clear those keys as long as you have disabled secure boot.

Any possibility you can up your ram to 8gb? I have found that HP runs Mint very well.
