If your computer was manufactured to run Window (10 or 11) it my be employing bit-locker encryption. When you try to boot Puppy Linux it may not boot and the terminal will report an error such as that it can not find vmlinuz.
This can happen when bit-locker encryption is enabled. You will have to disable it. See, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 376#p68376 and the next post. Thanks, coffee for the instructions and wiak for the confirmation.
