You're facing some tricky BIOS settings and Windows installation challenges. It sounds like the system is locked into a configuration that doesn't support modern UEFI features or Secure Boot. Here are a few suggestions:
- Double-check your hardware: Ensure the physical SSD is correctly recognized and not corrupted.
- Try booting from a USB with a known-good Windows ISO (like Windows 10/11) to confirm compatibility.
- If possible, reset the BIOS to default settings and test UEFI mode manually—sometimes a simple power cycle helps.
- Consider using a live USB to safely explore BIOS options or reinstall the OS without modifying settings directly.
- If Secure Boot is required, verify that your hardware supports it and that you're not missing any required drivers.
Let me know if you'd like help walking through any of these steps.
