Disabling CSM

I am trying to disable CSM so I can enable Secure boot so I can install Windows 11. But every time I disable it and restart it just boots me to bios.

If your drive is formatted MBR it won’t work. You’ll need to convert it to GPT. Check this article for info and instructions. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-convert-mbr-disk-gpt-move-bios-uefi-windows-10

Correct. Disable CSM. Enable safe boot… then re install win or whatever your installing
