Beta5 on Optiplex 7050

Just reporting, I was about to trash this OptiPlex 7050 (at work, because it was not Windows 11 compatible) when I just happen to remember that I had the USB for Haiku Beta5, so I plugged it in… and OMG it worked great.

Boot into the USB and installed in a matter of minute. Struggle a bit on the reboot because the BIOS was configured for SecureBoot and no legacy option. It took me a few tries to find the correct BIOS setting but then it booted on the installed OS so fast :slight_smile:

Everything works network, sound… I was amazed. I have struggled getting a VM going, this was a breath of fresh air on my return to Haiku :wink:

Just a fyi, we do support secure boot too :wink: There are signing keys for secure boot in the installation USB, if you know enough about secure boot you can enroll these keys and have haiku boot in a signed manner.

Oh thanks, good to know if I try to do a dual-boot machine. I stopped searching when it booted :wink:
