I've faced problems with W10 for a long time, but I'm moving to W11 now. I need to switch my SSD from MBR to GPT, but when I enter recovery mode and click troubleshoot, the only option available is Startup settings, not Command Prompt.

Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 in recovery mode isn’t possible. Before switching your SSD, you must complete several steps to ensure a smooth transition. If you skip preparation, you risk damaging your Windows 10 setup. The optimal approach is to perform a clean install of Windows 11 from a fresh memory card, erasing all data first. Do you need to recover any files before starting?

The best option when you can afford it is to purchase a new SSD and begin fresh. Make sure to fully disconnect the existing SSD before starting the installation. This guarantees your data remains intact. (Keep an offline backup of any important information.)

I own several SSDs that function as a Windows 11 installation medium, but I attempted to set it up yesterday using a USB drive. Even after removing the previous SSD running Windows 10, I still couldn<|pad|> to activate secure boot.

You may find options in your BIOS for Legacy and UEFI settings. To install Windows 11, you must be using UEFI mode. Secure boot and TPM 2.0 should be enabled. If you're following Microsoft's guidelines, ensure network drivers are installed on the USB drive containing Windows 11. Remember, by default, Windows 11 requires an internet connection for setup, which means you'll need to log in with an MS account. However, there are workarounds available if you wish to bypass some steps. Just be sure only one drive is installed during installation, as Windows can sometimes install boot files on separate disks.
