Hi Andre,
Apologies for adding a few more queries.
Do we need to modify the SmartNIC design (FPGA shell) to support Windows? Will the same design work for Windows as it does for Linux, or will the PCI= e section require modification?

Hi Ayshathul,

Disabling secure boot does not block Windows update, as Windows Update does= not require Secure Boot to download or install updates. However, Enterpris= e policies often require Secure Boot for compliance. If it=92s off, updates= may be withheld or flagged by management tools (e.g., Intune, ConfigMgr) until the device meets baseline security.<= br> Some organizations enforce Conditional Access or Secure Production Access r= ules that block OS upgrades on non-compliant devices.
