Secure Boot is a security feature that's supported by most modern hardware which prevents malware hijacking your computer as Windows boots. You'll need to enable Secure Boot in order to install Windows 11. If you're still running Windows 10 or earlier, head to your computer's BIOS to enable Secure Boot. The menu name will vary by manufacturer, but it should be under something like 'Boot Settings'. You should be able to toggle Secure Boot to 'On', save your changes, and restart the computer.

TPM 2.0 is a security feature that must be enabled in order for Windows 11 to be successfully installed. To check if your computer supports TPM 2.0, press '[Windows Key] + 'R' and type 'tpm.msc' into the search. If you get a message saying 'Compatible TPM cannot be found', you need to enable it through the computer's BIOS, the setting is usually in a menu called 'Advanced', 'Security', or 'Trusted Computing'. If you receive a message saying 'TPM is ready to use', check with your manufacturer to see if it meets the 2.0 requirement. If not, unfortunately you won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11.
