You're facing an issue where Windows 10 is trying to boot into Secure Boot mode, but your BIOS keeps looping back to the BIOS instead of the OS. This often happens with certain motherboards like the Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC. Make sure your BIOS settings are correctly configured for Secure Boot and that the hardware supports it. If the problem persists, check your BIOS version and ensure it matches the requirements for Windows 11.

Latest BIOS version? When Secure Boot was turned off during the installation of Windows 10, you must reinstall it to boot into Windows. After entering Windows, use msconfig, choose Safe Boot for safe mode on the next start, switch Secure Boot back on, enter Safe Mode, and then return to normal Windows. Certain hardware may require a BIOS update for FTPM compatibility with Windows 11.

Did you turn off CSM or turn it back on? That might have affected CSM. I think enabling Secure Boot could have disabled CSM, leading to your boot issue—you’d likely need a GPT file to fix it.

I don't have enough information to confirm that disabling CSM is the only way to ensure it. If your Windows setup uses a MBR format, you'll likely need a GPT file on the SSD. I've seen instructions that explain how to change from MBR to GPT without reinstalling Windows, but I haven't tried them myself—I usually just reinstall the OS.

You only need the latest BIOS version compatible with your system. Your current F15a should work with the newest updates.

Can I duplicate my W10 drive, erase it, convert it to GPT, and reinstall the W10 OS?

According to what I understand—though I haven’t tried it—I don’t need to create a clone. Just start Windows and execute some CMD commands to change your drive format from MBR to GPT. Then enter BIOS, turn off CSM, and you should be able to boot normally again.

You can simply update the current version. Typically, the newest includes all the improvements from earlier releases.

The issue likely stems from Windows 10/11 trying to boot with Secure Boot enabled after a format change. The MBR format may not support Secure Boot, causing boot failures. Check the boot settings or consult documentation for compatibility.
