Boot secure not activated despite BIOS presence, assistance needed!
Boot secure not activated despite BIOS presence, assistance needed!
The system starts working properly in Windows 10 but not in Windows 11. To upgrade, you should follow the recommended steps for upgrading from one version to another. If you don’t have Windows 11, you’ll need to explore alternative methods or consider using a virtual machine.
You may generate an EFI bootloader for a 3TB storage, start from it in UEFI mode, and then proceed to upgrade to Windows 11.
Run the commands listed in the elevated command prompt. A standard prompt will fail at the final step.
If any issues arise, halt immediately.
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
(select 3TB disk)
list partition
select partition X
(select 2794GB partition, replace X with a valid number, e.g. X=1 or X=2)
shrink desired=500
create partition efi size=500
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter=H
exit
bcdboot C:\windows /s H: /f UEFI
"Boot files created successfully".
Boot into BIOS and adjust boot priority.
Set the first boot device to
UEFI OS on the 3TB drive (expect Windows Boot Manager to appear, depending on BIOS version).
Afterward, proceed to Windows 10, and upgrading to Windows 11 should be possible provided TPM 2.0 is enabled.

You're not limited by having a 3 TB drive. Creating a Windows 11 USB media creation tool and booting from it is a viable option. Just keep in mind the disk format—fat32 is commonly recommended. Regarding secure boot, the media creation process itself won't change it unless you configure it during setup. Let me know if you need further guidance! Your help is greatly appreciated!
