SECURE BOOT!! ONE PEEVED OFF GAMER

Lets get started.   

I downloaded the game while I slept last night.  Woke up thinking 10am I can load this thing up.  Started it up, and came to screen saying "secure boot needs to be enabled to play". 

Ok, look up the solution.  Spent 3 hours working through solutions on enabling secure boot.  I did not find a way to enable secure boot on my computer.  Back to watching more videos, and still, I did not find a way to enable secure boot.  Another 2 hours wasted, so I gave up, peeved off, and played other games. 

Came back to the problem this evening.  Watched more videos, and finally found something that could be the issue.  I had to change my hard drive from MBR to GPT.  Ok so I follow the steps involved, which means, formatting the drive.  I succeeded in changing from MBR to GPT, only to have all of my games erased, and needing to be installed again.   

I now have loads of time tonight to be able to leave this thoughtful discussion for EA. I will say this, and it is a stern warning.  I do not play any of your other games.  I purchased a couple of games you had on sale for 85% off and was disappointed in Star Wars Battlefront especially.  If this is the kind of hoops you want me jumping through to play an anticipated title, you will quickly learn I have no interest in your games.  Having to wipe a hard drive full of games is quite frankly, beyond ridiculous!   

Im going to leave this on a positive note.  If you see my post and are having a hard time with the Secure Boot, leave a message, I will gladly assist you with the process.
