I’m stuck trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11?

This. Yeah, agreed. And if you still can't find it, look for a setting called "Windows 8/10 Features" or similar and set that to "Windows UEFI mode."

This. Also, sometimes it's called "Launch CSM" that you need to disable first before the Secure Boot option will even appear.

You could also check if there's a "CSM" or "Legacy Support" mode that needs to be disabled first, as that often hides the Secure Boot option.

Same here. Yeah, agreed. And on some ASUS boards, you might need to set an administrator password in the BIOS before the Secure Boot menu unlocks.

Also, try looking for a setting called "Launch CSM" and make sure it's disabled.

+1 I had the same problem on my old ASUS board. I had to disable CSM like the other user said, and then the Secure Boot option finally appeared for me to enable.

This happened to me too. After disabling CSM, I also had to load default Secure Boot keys in the BIOS before it would work. Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's the trick. Also, make sure you save and exit the BIOS after loading those default keys.

Agreed. Sometimes it's listed under the "Security" or "Boot" tab, so maybe check there again? Let me know if that works.
