Boot secure not activated despite BIOS presence, assistance needed!
Boot secure not activated despite BIOS presence, assistance needed!
Attempting to activate secure boot on an Asrock z370 killer/sli is challenging. I've attached a screenshot of the UEFI BIOS from the provided link. The default security boot keys were installed, but nothing is working. I'm trying to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 and need your assistance.
Check if Windows 10 is running in UEFI mode. If not, you need to change it before upgrading to Windows 11. Can you provide a screenshot from Disk Management?

Windows is running in an older mode. You need to change it to UEFI compatible first. Run from the elevated command prompt, check with validation before converting. Use the commands mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS followed by mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOS. After conversion, boot into BIOS and configure the first boot device to Windows Boot Manager.
It should be emphasized that prior to proceeding with these guidelines, ensure your system backup is thoroughly tested and prepared, since the process may encounter issues during execution and a failure at any stage would require immediate action.
There seems to be an issue with the setup. I attempted to convert using an elevated command prompt and received the links you provided. In the BIOS, I'm uncertain which option to select, but it appears in the boot menu within the UEFI system. No "Windows Boot Manager" option is available. Could you clarify? Thank you for your patience.
