Can't find UEFI Firmware Settings in Windows 10

I'm trying to activate Secure Boot on my computer so I can upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft's instructions include the following:

Run Settings> Update & Security > Recovery and select Restart now under Advanced startup. From the next screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart to make changes.  

But under Troubleshoot > Advanced Options, a control for UEFI Firmware Settings does NOT appear. No such option is provided. So what do I do? Thanks.

    You need to access the BIOS setup.

    Refer to your particular PC manual for how to do that. (Generally by pressing F1 or similar on boot up...)
