Hello,A game i want to play valorant if you need to know needs me to have secure boot enabled, but i didn't enable it when i installed windows 11, I know how to enable it, but i have to disable csm, I asked online of what will happen if i disable csm, and they all say i would have to reinstall windows 11, is that true? if so i also have another question, if i reinstall and change boot settings, can i still use the "save my files" feature when i install with a USB stick? thanks

Disabling CSM and enabling secure boot makes my Boot drive disappear.

Windows 11 upgrade requires I enable secure boot on my PC, it's main use is as a home Plex Server, It has an Intel 8700k and I just use the integrated graphics UHD 630, I don't need a discreet gpu for this. I believe W11 supports this.

In the BIOS (gigabyte z370 motherboard) the Storage Boot Option & Other PCI Devices are set to UEFI mode.

To enable 'Secure Boot' I have to disable CSM support, which I do and enable secure boot but when my PC reboots it goes back to set up and there is no boot drives listed, I have to return the bios back to the original for my drives to show up, the Boot drive is a nvme Samsung 980 pro.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thx.

 

disabling secure boot

Hello
These are the instructions I received from the engineers at Asus regarding disabling secure boot. I can do so by clearing keys but that is not advised. I want to use various Linux distros which require that secure boot be disabled. My new board is Asus Tuf z390 Gaming Plus Wifi.
Their directions below did not disable secure boot either. If you have any ideas I would appreciate them. The builder said he felt enabling CSM as Asus did should have disabled secure boot too.

>>BIOS -> Boot -> CSM (Compatibility Support Module) -> Launch CSM -> Enabled

1. Boot mode -> UEFI and Legacy
2. Boot from Network -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
3. Boot from Storage -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
4. Boot from PCIE/PCI -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
5. Go back to Boot -> Secure Boot -> OS Type -> Windows UEFI Mode (Windows 10/8.1/8) and Other OS (for Windows 7)<<

 

Enable Secure boot

Hello everyone, I've trying to enable secure boot in my pc in the BIOS ( I have a gigabyte motherboard), and I'm doing this because I want to play Valorant in my pc. I have the TPM 2.0 activated but the secure boot not. When I'm trying to change this in the Bios (Disabled the CSM and activated the secure boot), the pc doesn't do it. It re-boot again with the CSM activated. Can anyone help me, please?
