Secure boot problem

[GeorgeNeedsYou]

So I have 2 issues but let’s just stick with the first one. So my computer was malfunctioning and when I got it repaired they said they had to wipe everything out. I was okay with that and re installed all my apps again. On this specific computer I own I play a bunch of games one of them being fifa 23. So apparently now everytime I try to play fifa it doesn’t allow me to play because secure boot is off or something and I checked on YouTube and tried to turn it on and also spoke with EA (the company that owns FIFA) and was still not able to turn secure boot on. I went through a bunch of **bleep**, going through lots of settings in BIOS etc but nothing. Can anyone pls help.

Hi:

If secure boot is grayed out, and Windows is installed in UEFI mode, follow these steps to enable secure boot.

Step 1. Go into the BIOS and Load HP Factory Default Keys and see if Secure Boot becomes available.

Step 2. If it does not than go into the operating system and disable “Fast Boot” (Steps below).

Step 3. go back into your BIOS and try to the Load HP Factory Default Keys setting again

Step 4. enable Secure Boot at this point.

If Windows is installed in legacy mode, you will need to reinstall Windows in UEFI mode by booting the Windows installation media from the UEFI USB boot source and not the legacy one.
