Your PC supports secure boot, but the processor and TPM 1.2 security device cannot be upgraded to meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

 

In order to enable secure boot, Windows must be installed in UEFI mode.

 

You can tell if Windows is installed in UEFI mode by running the Windows system information app.

 

Check the BIOS Mode line.  It should be on UEFI.

 

If it is on Legacy, you will need to convert the drive to GPT so you can enable secure boot.

 

If you need to convert the drive to GPT, watch this video:

After the conversion has been completed, go into the BIOS, disable legacy mode and enable secure boot.

 

Then watch this video for how to easily upgrade your PC as is from W10 to W11:

It is  that model stuck with tpm 1.2 sadly. I tried to update mine too and hp dont allow upgrade to 2.0 on the 800 g1. You can turn on secure boot in bios though if you got uefi mode. Windows 11 might still install with some tweaks but not fully supported. Still runs fine for daily stuff tho.
