Bios Setting

Ok, so couple months back, I had converted my M.2 samsung boot ssd from mbr to gpt for windows 11. I had made my bios from Legacy to UEFI. Today I had updated BIOS and when i was reapplying some settings back. I saw that the "Storage boot option control" was on Legacy and not UEFI, but my "Other PCI Device ROM Priority" was on UEFI. My gpt samsung ssd boots and works just fine, but should I make the storage boot option control to UEFI?

I had also once enabled secure boot in my gigabyte motherboard, but after that my pc did not boot and showed a blank screen, not even the bios. So now ive updated my bios, how do I enable secure boot without causing any blank screen? As mentioned my Pc is on UEFI and drive is on GPT.

 

Thanks!

@FPS_Lego That fact that toggling secure boot actually made your other PC not boot is very strange. It is unlikely that it was caused by secure boot and something else. And if it was caused by that, then reseating the CMOS battery should revert back the settings. Did you try this?

 

Also, as for the firmware type, there is not really any difference between legacy vs UEFI except that you wouldn't be able to use legacy while installing Windows 11 (but after installation I think you can, as you have done) and your boot sector can't be too large. But still, there is no problem using the latest UEFI standard rather than legacy and you just might run into any potential compatibility issues, so I recommend UEFI.

Yes @Hensen Juang, I had reseated the cmos, and the pc had booted. I had updated bios as I needed some of the new features. But I want to enable secure boot now as Valorant needs it for some reason, and I want extra security. I dont know how to enable secure boot in gigabyte bios without getting this blank screen.
