Permanent disabling digital signature requirement for drivers in Windows 10

Windows 10 x64 (and also some other versions of  Windows) requires that drivers which are going to be installed must have digital signature. Certificates chain should contains Microsoft Root certificate.
 This is good for security, but not convinient for drivers developers who should build and test drivers.

To disable this requirement temporary (until Windows reboot) Press and hold 'Shift' key, then choose 'Reboot' in Windows main menu. Then in service menu choose 'additional' variants and find option 'Disable driver signature verification'. Again : it will work until next Windows reboot.

In order to make this permenent : open console with Administrator permissions and execute two commands:

> bcdedit /set testsigning on

and

> bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on

Important! If these commans will fail, then reboot, go to BIOS and disable  'Safe Boot' option !
