Turn off Secure Boot initially, then install Windows, change to GPT format, access BIOS settings, reactivate Secure Boot, and proceed with the Windows 11 installation.

If enabling Secure Boot somehow (I mean it in a way I'm uncertain about) actually turns off CSM in the BIOS, then the MBR Windows installation won't function. This occurs because MBR is designed for older BIOS systems, not UEFI. CSM stands for Compatibility Support Module, which allows your new UEFI motherboards to work with older hardware and features. GPT is used for UEFI, which is required for Windows 11.

It seems like you're suggesting a change. If you'd like, I can help update it.

This outlines the process of changing from an MBR to a GPT file without losing any data on your Windows 11/10 system. The guide mentions it works best when the drive has no partitions or volumes, which is unlikely with a Windows installation. You may need to reinstall Windows. You can erase your disk during the installation setup by launching Command Prompt via Shift + F10, then follow the simple commands to wipe and convert it, continuing after enabling Secure Boot in the BIOS.

I’m going to clone your W10 now just in case. Should I switch to GPT and install Windows 10 first, or should I convert and install Windows 11? Also, can I set up a backup of Windows 10 and move it to Windows 11 so everything stays safe? Thanks for the clear questions!
