B450 MSI Mortar Max features 3200G with TPM enabled, but Secure Boot activation fails.
I've never faced such a setup challenge before. Microsoft's approach to reducing staff and handling hacks seems frustrating. Turning on Secure Boot gave me a warning: "CSM IS Loaded!" I had to turn it off in the setup and double-check the UEFI Video driver. The BIOS didn't have a clear 'Setup' section, making it confusing. Anyone have tips?
CSM is activated and a BIOS option exists to turn it off. But if your operating system uses an MBR partition table—common in many setups—disabling CSM now may prevent a successful boot. First verify the disk type, then convert it to GPT format before proceeding. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-conve...windows-10
This situation seems confusing. With a W7-10 setup, formatting the desired drive as the operating system is straightforward and makes sense. It’s unclear why this process is so complicated now. This shouldn’t require advanced knowledge—most people can grasp it. I don’t have a CS degree, and I’m not sure what they intended. I mostly build my own hardware, so my understanding is limited. This definitely feels like a mistake. Should I run this inside Windows? Altering the partition style on an active OS drive is risky.
The system already uses a GUID Partition Table (GPT) layout, and the BIOS is configured for UEFI, yet the original alert remains.
It’s not clear what you mean, but it sounds like many people prefer updating their operating system rather than performing a clean installation. A straightforward solution would be creating a Windows 11 bootable USB drive and erasing the existing system.
Check your BIOS menu for CSM options, usually found in the Boot or Advanced settings.
It resolved itself, though I wasn’t sure how. I didn’t alter anything in the BIOS or SSD partition settings. Thanks for your assistance. Now I’m trying to understand why my folder name keeps being C:/Users/ and it’s hard to pick something else... Windows 11, everyone...
You're right, it was also an issue with 10. An issue that still persists, and hasn't been fixed in several years. Windows 11, everybody...
