I was trying to verify if my PC meets the requirements for Windows 11, but the compatibility check indicated issues with Secure Boot. The system information showed Secure Boot wasn't supported, yet the BIOS listed an option to enable it. Your MBR partition style might be relevant—checking that could resolve the problem.

It’s clear from what you said. Just turn on the BIOS settings. I’m not sure how well your setup will start up afterward, since I don’t have much knowledge about secure boot.

I've already attempted that but your computer isn't starting, showing "no operating system found." Searching online suggests the secure boot feature shouldn't be turned on—just ensure compatibility. Maybe adjusting your partition layout and BIOS settings could help.

Earlier in your discussion about the identical question, you were reminded to convert it to GPT format or reinstall it.

Sure, I'm considering that as well. Do you think it might be feasible?

Secure boot is an UEFI feature, requiring the system to operate in UEFI mode for the BIOS setting to apply. Since your setup shows legacy boot, the option won't function. All details are visible in the screenshot. You're likely in a risky situation—either reinstall the OS without CSM or run MBR2GPT and accept potential data loss. Have you considered an in-place upgrade by installing the ISO in Windows 10 and selecting Upgrade?

UEFI can work with CSM active while maintaining Secure Boot functionality.

based on the screenshot, the BIOS mode indicates legacy. it’s possible to bet that the disk manager will display C: as MBT. instead of GPT, you can use the provided link to convert to GBT, which will allow a secure boot into Windows. I performed this on my husband's PC and it functioned smoothly. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...mbr-to-gpt from an admin command prompt MBR2GPT.exe /convert /allowFullOS
