    Windows 11 on Legacy BIOS

    To install Windows 11 in a supported fashion it requires BIOS UEFI.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications

    https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp

    Unsupported Windows 11 installations may not benefit from the improvements in performance, reliability, and security.

    It may be possible to dual boot Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

    See if the BIOS has options for Legacy and UEFI with and without CSM.

    If there are UEFI options then switching from BIOS Legacy to BIOS UEFI may be an option.
