Ah, that Secure Boot error can be really stubborn even when it's enabled. Sometimes it's a firmware setting like having CSM or Legacy ROM enabled that can interfere—double-check that it's fully disabled in your BIOS. If you're still stuck, feel free to share your motherboard model and I can try to help you track down the specific setting.

Post by 30dokm »

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, but the PC Health Check tool says my system doesn’t support Secure Boot. I’ve checked my BIOS (UEFI) and it *is* enabled. I keep getting the error "This PC must support Secure Boot" with code 0x80070002. Has anyone else hit this wall? I’m not sure what else to check or if I need to change a specific setting. Any help would be appreciated!

+1 Did you also check if your disk is partitioned as GPT and not MBR?

Yeah, that's a solid point. Also, double-check that Secure Boot is set to "Windows UEFI Mode" and not "Other OS" in your BIOS.

Agreed. Sometimes a BIOS update from your motherboard manufacturer can also resolve that stubborn Secure Boot detection issue.

+1 You could also try clearing the TPM from within your BIOS settings, as that can sometimes reset the secure boot handshake.

Thanks! I turned off CSM like you said, but now my computer won't boot at all and just shows a black screen. What do I do?

Same here. Yeah, that error can be stubborn. One extra thing to check is if your disk partition style is GPT and not MBR, as that's also a requirement.
