How to setup SecureDoc on my Surface Pro 4
Preliminary Overview
Although, both the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 devices can be setup with encryption using native Preboot UEFI under version 7.1 SR1 or higher however, for optimal support and bypassing UEFI limitation, we would suggest 7.1 SR6 or higher would allow you to apply Linux Preboot on UEFI (PBLU) bootloader. Using PBLU option will provide greater advantage of supporting additional devices (notably for Wireless and Tokens\Smartcards device).
