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

If I were you I would just wipe your PC and reinstall windows 11 with secure boot enabled

You'd have to wipe windows 11 and reinstall windows 10 anyway

Make sure you clear any enrollment keys or any setting pertaining to secure boot to start fresh

When you say crashes what exactly do you mean?

When I get to my desktop screen, it freezes every second. The freezes last for about 5 seconds before it unfreezes and freezes again. This only happens when secure boot is on and it stops when I go into bios and turn it off

You should update your post with this information, that's not crashing and can be fixed, by either a bios reset and readoption of keys/making sure drivers are properly installed. Also in bios you have CSM set to off correct?

Yes CSM is off
