I recently got a new ASUS PC and tried to download Windows 11, but it won't let me because I need to enable Secure Boot. I've installed Windows 10 using a USB drive, and I didn't enter a product key, so I'm not sure if that affects anything. I'm pretty new to this whole computer thing, so I would really appreciate any guidance on how to enable Secure Boot.

If the BIOS menu is confusing, look for a section related to boot or security settings—it’s usually where Secure Boot is found. If you're having trouble, don't hesitate to ask for more specific steps or screenshots!
Make sure your PC is set to boot in UEFI mode. If it's set to Legacy or CSM, you'll need to switch that to UEFI first. Then enable Secure Boot in the BIOS. You may also have to convert your boot drive from MBR to GPT if it’s in Legacy mode, but backing up your data beforehand is really important if you go that route!
To enable Secure Boot, restart your computer and keep pressing the 'DEL' key during startup until you enter the BIOS. From there, you should find the option to enable Secure Boot. If you need more help on navigating BIOS, let me know!
What do I do after I enable it?
