I attempted to reinstall Windows 11 using a Windows 11 boot USB, but it failed. The system reported it couldn't run Windows 11. I then installed Windows 10 instead. After that, trying to upgrade to Windows 11 kept stating secure boot must be enabled, even though the BIOS hasn't changed and Windows 11 previously worked. I modified the MSI BIOS settings, switching between boot and advanced options to UEFI only, but it still looped back into BIOS and Windows wouldn't boot. I changed the UEFI back to Legacy mode, yet I can no longer access the BIOS. Even with the boot USB inserted, it immediately restarts to Windows. I've tried all possible BIOS commands (del, f2, f10, f12) but none work. How can I regain access to the BIOS?

Before you saw my message, I managed to access the BIOS by taking out one of the RAM sticks.
