Windows 10: Problems activating secure boot for Win 11 upgrade

Hi,since the support for Win 10 is ending, I wanted to upgrade my dad's PC from Win 10 to Win 11. I have enabled the TPM chip in BIOS and wanted to do the same for Secure Boot which is required, but couldn't turn off the compatibility mode CSM I believe, turning it off is a requirement for Secure Boot because it raised an error. After searching the web a bit, I found it might be caused by an incompatible graphics card it is indeed quite a relic, albeit a PCIe 3 card - the PC was built in 2019/2020 I think, but the GC was taken from an old PC as my dad needs it only for videos and not much

Win 10 will not upgrade to Win 11

My problem is this when win 11 became available I upgraded, it ran perfect upgrade installed no problems all worked perfectly. Then I had a pc crash and my backup image was a win 10 restored my pc from the image, ran the Microsoft pc health tool and it tells me now I cannot upgrade first the TPM is not activated in bios I have checked it is activated along with secure boot that is activated. Whats goin on here first MS says yes upgrade is possible then no

 

UPGRADE FROM WIN 10 TO WIN 11?

SO I JUST BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP WITH AN WINDOWS 10 PREOFESSIONNEL

• LICENCE OEM: DM
  
• ACTIVATED
  

I WANNA UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 11 MY LAPTOP IS COMPATIBLE BUT DO I NEED TO BUY A NEW LICENCE AND THE KEY TO ACTIVATE WIN 11 AFTER THE UPGRADE ?

 

Upgrade Win 10 to Win 11 failed

Have PC with 4 partition managed by EasyBCD,

1. Boot partition (500M, active partition)

2. Win 7 (140G)

3. Win 10 (120G, my production machine, boot by default)

4. Win 7 (140G, play partition)

Recently try to upgrade partition 3 to Win 11. Upgrade steps seem to work smoothly until it reach 100%.

Then I get message "PC will restart in few moments"

Then I get "Win11 installation has failed"

I check the srttraic.txt file and found the folloing:

"Root cause found: No OS files found on disk

Repair action: Partition table repair

Result: Failed error code 0X20"

However, I seem to have no problem to boot my Win10 without error even the installation has failed.

Some trouble shooting from my side.

1. I am able to boot Win 7 or Win 7 (play partition) if I use a disk manager to set these partition to active.

2. I am not able to do so if I set Win 10 partition as active, I have to set the 500M boot partition and select Win 10 from boot menu.

3. I boot Win 10 installation disk from USB and try to repair my Win10 partition, but repair failed.

4. I backup the whole disk, set Win 7 partition as active, I can upgrade this partition from Win 7 to Win 10 and to Win 11.

5. Si I believe my PC hardware is no problem to support Win 11.

How can I recover my Win 10 partition without loosing my application so It can be boot without the boot partition?
