    To be more clear, the swap of the oses (not swap as in the swap partition) will be done from bios by changing the boot drive/efi executable and toggling secure boot accordingly. Do you think this will work?

      That’s what I thought you might try. Answer is, I don’t know. I think it would depend on what the UEFI does with the secure boot keys when you disable secure boot. From a security standpoint it would make most sense for it to wipe those keys, but I could be wrong. The easiest way to find out if it would cause a problem would be to try it.

      If I understand this article correctly however, Windows only requires that the UEFI be capable of secure boot, not that secure boot be enabled.

      I think the first thing I would try is to try installing and booting Windows without secure boot. If that fails, than reinstall, this time with secure boot enabled and leave it enabled. Several other comments here are saying that secure boot in linux is now largely seamless and as it has been several years since I’ve mucked about with it, I’m inclined to listen to their recommendation.
