Hi:
Your PC does not have a secure boot setting, because the PC needed to have come with W8 or newer, or could have come with W8 or newer, and the newest OS the 8200 Elite came with was W7.
You can install W10 in EFI mode, but there is no secure boot setting.
Also when W11 actually is released to the public your PC will not be supported because:
No secure boot setting.
No TPM 2.0 (yours has 1.2, and it can't be updated)
No Intel 8th gen core processor. Yours has a 2nd gen core processor.
Microsoft may relax the processor specs to include the Intel 7th gen processors, but that won't help you.
You can install the W11 developer version and play with it until W11 is released to the public.
After that, it will no longer work and you will need to reinstall W10.
