# [Tails 7.7](

# New feature
## Detection of outdated Secure Boot certificates
Since 2023, [Microsoft has started
replacing](
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-secure-boot-
certificate-expiration-and-ca-updates-7ff40d33-95dc-4c3c-8725-a9b95457578e)
the Secure Boot certificates originally issued in 2011. These older
certificates begin expiring in June 2026.
Tails now notifies you if the computer that you are using [has outdated Secure
Boot certificates and needs an
update](
