Hello! I have a brief query. While searching for a fix, I found an article suggesting I should turn on SAM on the B450 motherboard. My setup includes a B450 Aorus Elite with F63d BIOS, 4G Decoding enabled, and the Re-Sizable Bar option. However, I couldn't access Windows and kept getting logged into BIOS. Should a BIOS update help or is this issue specific to my board?

You need to upgrade your OS to a UEFI version to activate the resizable bar feature.

You won't lose any data from your Windows drive during conversion.

All systems are operating smoothly. The transition from legacy to UEFI went without any problems.

You should follow the tutorial provided and see how it performs. Everything seems to be functioning correctly, though you mentioned wanting to compare Windows 10 and 11 for gaming speed. It's good to note that your system has only one partition, which might affect performance differences.

I'm not entirely confident, as I'm still on Windows 10. I'm a bit hesitant about Windows 11 since it seems potentially better, but the changes aren't obvious yet. I'm thinking about upgrading now.

It seems you might want to consider having three partitions on your main drive.
