  3. Click on "Restart" while pressing the shift key
  4. In the following menu, select "Troubleshooting" -> "Advanced options" -> "Startup settings" -> "Restart"
  5. The computer will now restart, a selection menu will appear during startup, press button 7 to select "Deactivate driver signature".
  6. The computer now starts with the driver signature deactivated. This means that unsigned drivers can be installed until the next restart.
