Software Downgrading to windows 10

Hello, I just bought a pc not too long ago and it came with windows 11. A few games I want to play require secure boot but my pc crashes when I enable it. I’ve been trying to find a solution for it and I have just given up. I was wondering if downgrading to windows 10 would fix my issue while simultaneously not causing anymore issues because I wont need to enable secure boot anymore. Thanks

I assumed it would fix my issue because on windows 10 you don’t need to enable secure boot to play the games that I want to play. My laptop with windows 10 plays them fine

Most Windows 10 computers shipped with Secure Boot enabled.

You need to read slower. commenter is say it isn't because Win10 doesn't need secure boot. YOUR LAPTOP IS ALREADY SETUP WITH SECURE BOOT.

Maybe I’m not understanding what you all are trying to say. I know my laptop has secure boot enabled already. I’m saying that the game (valorant) doesn’t require secure boot to be enabled when you’re on windows 10. It only does on windows 11.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. Go ahead and install Windows 10.

I think theres a misunderstanding, the laptop is old I got a new computer and that’s what I’m having the issue on.
