Hey, I see what you're dealing with. Your PC doesn't have Secure Boot enabled by default, which is why the UEFI settings button isn't visible. Since your build includes a B650 Aorus Elite AX with BIOS version F4 and a Legacy CPU mode, you should be able to access the UEFI settings through the advanced startup options. Try going into the BIOS/UEFI menu after booting up and look for the "UEFI Firmware Settings" or similar option. If it's not there, you might need to enable Secure Boot in the BIOS manually. Let me know what you find, and I'll guide you through the steps!

from what i understand, the piece suggests you've already set up win11 on a drive, but it's not starting. The key point is confirming your boot device uses the GPT partition layout instead of the MBR setup.

This refers to a situation where you need to understand what something means, and you're trying to upgrade your operating system to Windows 11 because your current version doesn't work properly. Additionally, you're facing issues with your PC not booting when you turn off the built-in security features.

You won’t need to transfer Windows from disk to disk. Converting the old SSD to GPT only changes the file system structure, not the installed operating system files. The boot drive can remain on its original location after the conversion.
