LL6.0 installs but after update get X.509 error @boot; LL6.6 install screws PC

Couple of notes:
1) Generally Windows can still be installed in legacy mode (dosMBR tables)

I bought a used laptop and Windows had been loaded ready to set up, so it was UEFI. When investigating my problem I read that legacy fixed it for some people. But it was a mistake for me to change it without further investigation.

3) I don't dual boot anymore anyway, nor do I advise others to. Virtualization is a better solution and Linux Lite runs quite nicely in hyper-v.

I've been using Virtual Box on my main Win10 PC for many years successfully. First to run some legacy 16bit Win XP software and 2nd to run LinuxLite for developing software for my Raspberry Pis. Here I  found a very useful Putty add-in called tkgpio that let's me simulate the GPIO pins and sensors as well as a small 4 line display.

On this laptop I didn't really want to wipe the Win 11 as it might be useful but I wanted to avoid running it connected to MS unless I spent a lot of time setting all the privacy settings etc. But I needed Linux to take the laptop to make full backups of my Pis from time to time.


I have recently added a SSD/PVIMe adapter to an old PC with LinuxLite installed first on the HDD and then copied the whole HDD to the SSD and then used Clover to boot into the SSD. I'm doing the same on another old Win10 PC but that is harder due to Windows Boot Manager. But both these are either LL/LL or Win10/Win10, not a mixture!


Overall, I think your comments are very sensible.
