I'm really stuck right now! I had Windows 10 installed on my main SSD, but it was set up as MBR. I decided to move forward and install Windows on my second SSD, which should be GPT. When I try to install Windows, it tells me that it can't because the disk is using GPT. Totally confused here! I switched off CSM in the BIOS, but then I couldn't see my SSD at all (I did unplug the first one to be safe). I need to figure this out since I want to enable secure boot for certain games like Battlefield 6, plus I'm considering upgrading to Windows 11. Any help would be super appreciated! 😥

Consider making a bootable Windows 11 USB and install from that instead. Just backup your personal data before you start. Make sure to watch a video tutorial to guide you through the process, especially for cleaning all the partitions off the SSD you're targeting for the install. That's crucial!
I erased the partitions but I think I lost some data in the process. I have a Windows 10 key on my USB right now. Should I switch to Windows 11, and does that require a new activation key? I’m just so lost.
