Also, theres an older thread here:

Need help to install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

One of my friends gave me a custom Windows 11 ISO to bypass Windows 11 system requirements and it worked like charm on two very old ThinPad laptops, date back to 2012 models. I guess the ISO has some modification in Registry to circumvent the requirements. However, When I run the in-place...

Secure Boot does not need to be turned on.

support.microsoft.com: While the requirement to upgrade a Windows 10 device to Windows 11 is only that the PC be Secure Boot capable by having UEFI/BIOS enabled, you may also consider enabling or turning Secure Boot on for better security.

If the error message only shows "The PC must support Secure Boot", then the only problem is the MBR disk.

learn.microsoft.com: Master Boot Record (MBR) disks use the standard BIOS partition table. GUID partition table (GPT) disks use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than 2 terabytes (TB).

"Il PC deve supportare l'avvio protetto."
"The PC must support Secure Boot."


Google Translate:

Windows 10 is installed in legacy BIOS format and the drive is formatted in MBR, Secure Boot cannot be enabled in legacy BIOS.

Your PC is compatible with Windows 11, but to install Windows 11, you should backup your personal files and clean Windows installation from a bootable USB in UEFI BOS format and in the process convert the drive to GPT which is the only format compatible with UEFI BIOS, it is a big job.

There is another process that means you don't need to reinstall Windows to convert the drive from MBR to GPT provided by Microsoft which is intended to be able to convert the drive without data loss, it is explained on this link, if you intend to use that process, backup all your personal files first.

learn.microsoft.com

MBR2GPT

Usare MBR2GPT.EXE per convertire un disco dal record di avvio master (MBR) allo stile di partizione GPT (GUID Partition Table) senza modificare o eliminare dati sul disco.
