Hello, I am following the instructions from the third answer here, starting with "Please try running mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS" : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3868066/i-cannot-get-secure-boot-enabled-i-have-tried-ever?page=1#answers

I was about about to run the conversion but I read : Important: Do NOT restart your computer yet.

So I guess there are some missing steps in the answer, please help I want to play BF6

Hi ,

It was a little confusing before you stopped at the validation step. What was the result?

You can try following the procedure explained here at Intel.
