If you did not convert your Windows installation from MBR to GPT or reinstall W10 by booting your Windows installation media from the UEFI USB flash drive, you cannot enable secure boot.

Boot into bios then go to Boot tab and disable secure boot. If option is grey out, then you need to set supervisior password first. Make sure to set something easy which you don't forget.
