When I enable secure boot in the BIOS, operating system won't load. I tried re-installing from USB drive, and still, nothing is recognized. Anyone managed to solve this, in preparation for Windows 11? TPM, CPU, everything else seems ready.

Hi:

 

You can't enable secure boot unless you reinstall W10 in EFI mode.

 

You can do that by booting your W10 installation media from either the EFI USB device or EFI DVD device, as applicable.

 

Then you can enable secure boot afterward.

 

You may encounter an error that 'Windows can't be installed to this disk...'

 

Watch this video for how to get around that problem...

 

Use of Diskpart to Format (Clean) or Wipe (Clean All) Partitions a Drive Before Windows Installation...
