Hi:

 

You can't enable secure boot with Legacy mode enabled.

 

However if Windows is installed in Legacy mode, you can't disable legacy mode/enable secure boot or your PC will not boot up.

 

So the first thing to do is to determine if Windows is installed in legacy mode:

 

Type: System Information

 

The System information app should show up.

 

Run the app and look for the BIOS Mode line about 1/4 of the way down on the report.

 

The BIOS mode line should be UEFI in order to enable secure boot.

 

See this link for how to enable secure boot if the BIOS mode is UEFI.

 

You want the section under Secure Boot settings for desktop computers
