experiencing difficulties during the transition from windows 10 to windows 11
RTX3060 12 OC, Ryzen 5 3600xt, ram corsair vengeance 2x16 3600, b450 arous elite, 700W cooler master, benq moobiuz ex2510s / 1080p / 165hz.
I'm attempting to upgrade from windows 10 to windows 11. I'm unsure if it's possible and what steps are required. The problem is highlighted in the PC health check:
This pc must support secure booting, TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled.

Turn on both Secure Boot and fTPM within your BIOS settings. This will make your system compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. Secure Boot can appear on the BIOS menu, but may not display if CSM Support is enabled—you’ll need to disable it. Note that if your disk partition uses MBR, enabling Secure Boot could prevent booting. The disk needs to be converted to GPT before you activate Secure Boot. The TPM 2.0 feature is built into the AMD CPU but is turned off by default; it should be found under the Peripherals tab.
it was easier said than done. I managed to endable fTMP, restarted the pc, then went back to bios to turn on secure boot, but windows wouldn't load and kept redirecting me to the bois section. I attempted a factory reset but couldn't activate it, so I had to disable it and enable cmd instead.
When Windows was set up in legacy mode, disabling CSM isn't possible. You need to change the OS drive from MBR to GPT with the mbr2gpt utility.
