Check if your drive is MBR or GPT
Convert from MBR to GPT if needed
Enable Secure Boot in BIOS

Step 1: Check if your boot drive is MBR or GPT
Right-click on Start and select Disk Management.
Find your boot drive
Right-click on the disk label on the left side (where it says Disk 1) and select Properties.
Go to the Volumes tab.
Look for the Partition style: it will say either Master Boot Record (MBR) or GUID Partition Table (GPT).
If it says GPT, you’re already good to go for Secure Boot!
If it says MBR, keep going.

Step 2: Convert MBR to GPT (if needed)
Make sure you backed up your data before this step!
Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
Press Start, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
Run this command to validate your disk is convertible:
mbr2gpt /validate /disk:1 /allowfullos
If it says validation successful, you’re safe to proceed.
Now convert the disk:
mbr2gpt /convert /disk:1 /allowfullos
Wait for it to finish. It should say conversion successful
Reboot your PC and enter BIOS immediately to switch to UEFI mode.

Step 3: Enable Secure Boot in BIOS
Restart your PC and press Delete or F2 repeatedly as it boots to enter BIOS setup.
In BIOS, go to the Boot tab or sometimes under Advanced Boot Configuration.
Find Boot Mode or CSM (Compatibility Support Module):
Set Boot Mode to UEFI only (or just UEFI).
Disable CSM if possible.
Go to the Security tab or Boot tab and find Secure Boot:
Set Secure Boot to Enabled.
Save and exit BIOS (usually F10).
Windows should boot normally with Secure Boot enabled.

Bonus: Double-check Secure Boot status in Windows
Press Win + R, type:
msinfo32
In the System Information window, look for Secure Boot State:
It should say On if everything went well.
Don't listen to these people who think its just a simple toggle!
holy fuck ahhahahah
