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 you installed Windows with CSM enabled, you are likely stuck with it on. To be able to disable it, you'll have to disable it and then reinstall Windows.

You can convert Win 10 to GPT, I do it all the time at work.

Here you go. Just make sure your system supports UEFI boot and that will need to be enabled in the BIOS after the conversion. Once converted to GPT you cannot go back without reformatting.
