I'm trying to figure out if my PC is compatible with Windows 11, but I've read that I need UEFI enabled. I checked my BIOS, and all I found was something called 'AUDA swordfish'—there wasn't any option to enable UEFI. How can I tell if my system has UEFI? What should I look for in the BIOS settings?

Typically, if your system supports UEFI, it'll already be enabled by default. What you want to look for is whether there’s an option for CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in your BIOS. If you only want UEFI booting, make sure to disable CSM. Also, to run Windows 11 smoothly, you'll need:
1. TPM 2.0
2. An Intel 8th Gen CPU or AMD Ryzen 2000 and later
3. UEFI booting
4. Secure boot enabled
If any of these specs are missing, you might face issues installing Windows 11 without some workarounds, which are not officially supported.

It’s pretty straightforward! If you can share your system specs, I can help you confirm if it meets the requirements. From what you've mentioned, check if you have those key features; you might just need to tweak some settings. Also, upgrading your PC might be worth considering if you're planning to play new games.
