how to enable secure boot windows 11 gigabyte

To enable Secure Boot on a Gigabyte motherboard for Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Enter BIOS: Restart the PC and repeatedly press the Del or F2 key to enter the BIOS setup.
2. Disable CSM (Compatibility Support Module):
   • Go to the Boot section.
   • Find "CSM Support" and set it to Disabled.
   • This ensures the BIOS is in UEFI mode, which is required for Secure Boot.
3. Enable TPM (fTPM or Intel PTT):
   • Go to the Peripherals or Settings tab.
   • Enable "AMD fTPM" or "Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)" depending on the CPU.
   • This enables the TPM 2.0 chip needed for Windows 11 security features.
4. Enable Secure Boot:
   • In the Boot or Security tab, locate Secure Boot and enable it.
   • If prompted, set Secure Boot Mode to Standard.
   • If available, choose the option to Restore Factory Keys to reset Secure Boot keys.
5. Save and exit BIOS by pressing F10, then reboot.
6. Verify in Windows:
   • Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and hit Enter.
   • In System Information, check the "Secure Boot State" which should say "On" if enabled correctly.

Additionally, ensure the system disk is partitioned with GPT rather than MBR for Secure Boot to work. This process applies to most Gigabyte motherboards supporting Windows 11 and Secure Boot.
