I am currently attempting to upgrade my PC to Windows 11 from version 10. I'm facing a problem with enabling safe boot. My installation media is already formatted in GTP, but within BIO the CSM (or CMS) option is active. When I turn it off, Windows won't start at all. I’m considering reinstalling Windows or losing my data on the current C drive, since other drives would stop working without the installed apps. I need advice on how to turn on secure boot and get Windows to load properly.

I discovered my disk isn't in GTP. Would converting it help resolve the problem?
