Windows 10: Confused about secure boot state

hello, i have the intentions to upgrade my pc to windows 11, currently the only requirement my pc don't meet is the secure boot state, which i attached below, but on my bios i can turn on secure boot, but my pc simply won't boot up, my question is this, do i have to do a completely fresh install to workaround this problem? thanks.

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Oh and OSX

Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.

 

User Account Confusions

Certainly am ! First to uninstall Malwarebytes and disable Secure Boot. Then I am good to go.

DOWNLOADING ISO
I am confused by the Download Menus which suggest downloading twice which is fine but in
between seems to suggest downloading and UPDATING Windows 10. I seem to remember being warned at some stage updating Windows could cause confusion. Should I ignore this Dialogue - menu - step and proceed straight to downloading from the Microsoft site ?

Also I need the mouse to work efficiently is it ok
a) to leave it in and/or
b) to remove it an put it back during the Repair install ?

The touch pad is unreliable and only seems to work intermittently,
