In the BIOS, follow the steps shared here. Remember, the menu names may differ slightly based on your motherboard.

- Look for “Secure Boot” and enable it.
- Disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM) mode to activate Secure Boot.

TIPS
MBR to GPT conversion: If you are unable to enable Secure Boot, it may be because your hard disk is using the MBR partition scheme instead of GPT, which is required for Secure Boot. Convert your disk from MBR to GPT to move ahead.
Steps to Check if the Windows boot drive is MBR or GPT?
- Right-click the Start button.
- Next, click on Disk Management.
- Right-click the drive that has Windows (C:) partition.
- Click Properties.
- Tap on the Volumes tab.
- Verify that the Partition style reads GPT.
- If the Partition style is GPT, you can enable Secure Boot. If your Partition style is MBR, you need to switch it to GPT.
If your drive has an MBR partition:
- Tap the Windows key + R and type cmd.
- Click on Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
- Launch the Command Prompt in admin mode.
- Type mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS.
- Hit Enter to complete the command.
- The Windows Command Prompt will confirm the drive can be converted from MBR to GPT.
- Type mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowfullOS.
- Use the disk number your PC lists in Disk Management.
- Hit Enter to run the command.
- Wait for the process to be completed.
- The drive is now converted to GPT.
BIOS Update: In some cases, you may need to update your motherboard’s BIOS to the latest version to ensure full compatibility. To locate firmware updates, go to your motherboard manufacturer’s website.
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type msinfo32 and press Enter.
- The System Information window will now open
