The factory-default HP BIOS sets Key Ownership to HP Keys. This means the HP platform key (PK), Microsoft key exchange key (KEK), Microsoft database (db), and a blacklist database (dbx) are populated. When Secure Boot is disabled, the keys currently enrolled in the system are preserved. If a custom PK, KEK, db, and dbx are desired, the user must change Key Ownership to Custom Keys. Once confirmed, this change will automatically disable Secure Boot and clear the PK, KEK, db, and dbx. The user may then import custom keys and re-enable Secure Boot.

Note

If the user tries to import the HP PK when Key Ownership is Custom Keys, the BIOS will reject the PK.
