Windows 10: Enable Secure Boot on MBR Drive

I'm trying to upgrade my hard drive from windows 11, but secure boot is not enabled. Looking into it, it looks like this is because the hard drive running windows has an MBR formatting and was not booting using UEFI I've been cloning the same hard drive I bought in 2013.I have a second hard drive that I was able to create a GPT format with a FAT32 EFI partition, however I'm not sure where to go from here.It's apparently very difficult to clone the hard drive running the windows OS across formats and I can't reformat the MBR drive with windows because then it would delete the OS. I'm not sure

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.

 

Enabling Secure Boot to update to Windows 11

Hi, I appreciate it. I already followed the BIOS steps given by the ASUS website guide. My boot option is set to UEFI instead of "Other OS". Just went over into msinfo32 as the guide suggested and it says secure boot state is unsupported. I read somewhere that I need to convert my boot drive from MBR to GPT, when attempting this in CMD I got read out: "MBR2GPT: Failed to update ReAgent.xml, please try to manually disable and enable WinRE.

MBR2GPT: Before the new system can boot properly you need to switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode!" What should I do?
