Windows 10: Secure Boot and Asus Prime Z490-P with Win 10 64 bits

I am trying to prepare my PC for Windows 11. I could find a solution for the TPM 2.0 feature, but cannot find any for the Secure Boot. All the information I can find on the Web does not match what I see on my BIOS screens. I did the best I can but the PC Health Check is still showing: This PC must support Secure Boot.Any idea about what to do?-----------Asus Prime Z490-P with Win 10 64 bitsi5 - 10400Corsaire DDR4 3600 16 Mg

Asus Prime Z370-p reboots to bios after windows install

I'm trying to help a friend get his new gaming pc up and going. He bought it from a company called DigitialStorm, and once he received it, wanted to install a fresh copy of windows. However this became an issue. After trying to reinstall several times on his own, he came to me for help.

Looking at the UEFI settings (on a discord video call lol), DigitalStorm seems to have installed windows 10 in legacy mode. I had him turn CSM off and Secure boot on, then reinstall windows. the installation seemed to go well, however once the windows installer got to the first reboot prompt, it rebooted to the usb drive. So he removed it, thinking it was the boot priority, and now it just repeatedly boots to the UEFI, and it wont recognize the SSD as a boot device (despite being the only drive plugged in).

We have tried CSM on/off, Secure Boot on/off, Fast boot On/off, even downloaded a fresh copy of windows 10, wrote it to a USB with rufus (in GPT/UEFI mode) and still the same problem.

I'm now out of ideas. I've never seen a motherboard or windows act this way. Any suggestions?

His new specs:

 

dual boot win 10

I had upgraded my old 32 bit win 10 to a 64 bit win 10 system and while I was transferring my files, I dual booted from the original 32 bit Win 10 system. Now that everything is running smoothly, I would like to remove the old 32 bit partition and included
the space in my new 64 bit system. However, when I go into the disk management, it is listing the old 32 bit system as 'system,active,primary' partition and is listing my new 64 bit system as (boot, pagefile, crash dump, primary partiton). I am afraid to make
this partition as active in case I lose all my files. Any suggestion of how to get rid of the 32 bit partition and make the 64 bit system bootable?

Thanks

Compability of Asus H97-Pro with Windows 10 (64-bit)


I'm planning to have Asus H97-Pro & Windows 10 (64-bit) in my new system.

While cross checking compatibilty I landed on Windows Compatible Products List
and according to that Asus H97-Pro is only comatible with Windows 7 & 8.

Please suggest whether Asus H97-Pro is actually compatible with Windows 10 or not.

Thanks & regards,

Maria.
