Recently I downloaded some drivers and It had bunch of problems so I wanted to update my windows but It says "secure boot unsupported" and when I enter BIOS there is nothing to do and I tried updating it but I couldn't find any driver for my pc

That is correct.
The HP 8200 Elite has a UEFI BIOS but does not support secure boot.
You need an 8300 Elite to have the secure boot feature.
If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 > W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.
How to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC in 2025 (New Easiest Method, No CMD)
Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).
You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.
You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.
Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.
That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
I'm running W11 24H2 on two HP 8200 Elite CMT's with no problem by using the above method to upgrade to W11.
