Windows Upgrade Help and more

I ran into this a while back. I had this exact same headache. From what I've seen, even if it's on in the BIOS, sometimes you need to change the "OS Type" from "Other OS" to "Windows UEFI Mode" for it to fully initialize. Double-check that setting and give it another go. Hope that helps.

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, but the PC Health Check app says my system doesn’t support Secure Boot. I’ve checked my BIOS (UEFI), and it’s enabled there, but Windows still says it’s off. I’m getting the error “This PC must support Secure Boot” (code 0x8007007E). Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get Windows to recognize it’s actually on?

Yeah, that's a common headache. One extra thing to try is clearing your TPM from the BIOS, as that can sometimes force Windows to re-recognize the Secure Boot state. Hope that helps.

You could also try disabling Secure Boot, saving and exiting the BIOS, then going right back in and re-enabling it.

Yeah, This happened to me. I had to go into the BIOS and change the Secure Boot mode from "Standard" to "Custom" and then back to "Standard" to finally get Windows to recognize it.

This happened to me too. After switching it in BIOS, I also had to completely shut down the PC, not just restart, for the change to finally stick.

Yeah, same here. A quick restart into the BIOS and back out sometimes forces Windows to recognize the change.

Same problem on my end. Following this thread.

Yeah, This happened to me. I had to go into my BIOS and change the Secure Boot mode from "Standard" to "Custom," then back to "Standard" and save, which finally made Windows recognize it.

You could also try clearing the TPM from your BIOS, as that sometimes resets the Secure Boot state for Windows.
