Hi:
Since you installed W10 in legacy mode, you can't enable secure boot, because the drive was formatted with the MBR partition table and not GPT, which is required for secure boot to work.
What you need to do is to go back, disable secure boot, and reinstall W10 in EFI mode.
To do that, just boot your W10 installation media from one of the EFI boot sources (EFI USB or EFI DVD).
After you install Windows in EFI mode, you should be able to turn secure boot on and have everything work.
