I don't have access to Windows 11, but I can help you understand the situation. Your motherboard uses MSI BIOS with CSM settings, not UEFI. The disk isn't showing in the UEFI, which prevents secure boot and full installation. You can still update to Windows 11 if you reset the BIOS or use a different setup method.

This setup uses the older MBR format instead of the newer GPT, which can affect compatibility. Microsoft offers a utility called MBR2GPT to convert it, but I recommend creating a backup first just in case.

You're looking to switch your installation to UEFI. The guide you found on Microsoft's forum provides instructions for this conversion.

Create an ISO from the video thread. Use Rufus to make a flash drive, choosing GPT or MBR for a clean install. Avoid upgrades for various reasons.
