Does the Core i7-7700HQ support Boot Guard?

AUser3 — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 06:02:09 GMT

Hello!

I'm currently researching some very specific processor features, including Boot Guard. From what I have found so far, it appears that Boot Guard is usually a vPro feature, which means that the 7700HQ (which, according to ARK, does not include vPro) would not include Boot Guard. However, I have also heard that Boot Guard is sometimes present on non-vPro SKUs, though I have not been able to find out what the source is for that. The ARK page for the 7700HQ does not include any information about Boot Guard, and I can't find information regarding Boot Guard on particular SKUs in any Intel datasheets, other than that it varies, so does anyone know if this chip has this feature?

Thanks!

Hello DodoDude700,

Thank you for joining the Processors community.

According to the processors datasheet, https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/7th-gen-core-family-mobile-h-processor-lines-datasheet-vol-1.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/7th-gen-core-family-mobile-h-processor-lines-dat… , Intel® Boot Guard is supported for this family of processors. Just like you mentioned the same document does not indicate in which SKU's the feature varies, so let me double check that.

I will update the thread as soon as possible.

Regards,

Amy C.

Hello,

I work for Intel Customer Support and I have confirmation that the Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Processor does support Boot Guard.
