I'm using windows 10 and after converting to GPT it still won't have an option for UEFI or Secure boot. How do I fix that?

Hi:

 

Your PC has a legacy BIOS that does not support secure boot or UEFI.

 

How did you get the PC to boot from a GPT formatted drive?

 

It shouldn't be working at all except as a date drive for storage only.

Unfortunately, there isn't.

 

You need a PC around 3 - 4 years newer than yours is to have those features.

 

This would be the oldest PC in the model series that has support for UEFI and Secure boot.
