cant update to windows 11

[chris2001]

 

 

I cant open to windows 11 

I have MSI motherboard(MSI bios) and the bios is set to CSM and not UEFI 

because the disk doesn't show up/recognize in the UEFI system 

 

and because of that cant have secure boot enable or enable enough to get windows 11 install 

 

is there anyway i can update to windows 11?

That's because your Windows install is setup as MBR as apposed to the more modern GPT. There is a tool from Microsoft to do it called MBR2GPT, though I'd want to have a backup of everything before doing this just in case.

You just need to convert your install to UEFI, found this on Google

Use the tool in the video in this thread to create an iso. That tool allows to block the TPM requirements. Then create flashdrive with Rufus.

 

Rufus gives you option on GPT or MBR.

 

That's for a fresh install. Really don't recommend upgrades for many reasons.
