Sounds like you installed Windows in legect mode so this is normal. Because you installed in legecy mode you can not change to secure boot mode and still be able to boot. you would either have to reinstall in secure boot mode or use the built in converter to convert the drive into a UEFI secure boot installation of Windows.

Sense you have already installed Windows in legecy mode lets just convert it into a secure boot mode wihtout reinstallation of Windows. Take a look at this video on converting legecy install to UEFI install.
