The error message indicates that Secure Boot needs to be enabled on your system in order to play VALORANT. Here are the steps to enable Secure Boot:
1. Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. The key to enter BIOS/UEFI varies by manufacturer (usually F2, F10, Delete, or Esc).
2. Locate Secure Boot settings: This is often found under the "Boot" or "Security" tab.
3. Enable Secure Boot: If there’s an option to change the Boot Mode to UEFI, make sure it's set to UEFI without CSM (Compatibility Support Module).
4. Save and Exit: Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings. Your system will reboot.
Important: Before enabling Secure Boot, ensure your system is using UEFI mode and not Legacy BIOS (MBR). Enabling Secure Boot on a system configured with Legacy BIOS can render your Windows installation unbootable. For detailed guidance, refer to this support article: Riot Support: Secure Boot.

It seems like your system isn't detecting your boot device
Go back to csm and see if the settings saved
Yep
Set the bottom one also to uefi
Then go back to boot and click on boot option two
And show me the options
Ok
There’s also an ignore option
So from the top it should be enabled uefi and legacy, Legacy, Uefi, Uefi
^ For here
Yeah it seems like your system isn't detecting that Windows is a uefi boot manager
Yep
What do I do now
I'm checking some of my documentation on this issue
Ok
Try to load now
Doing it rn
If it fails go back to your bios go to boot and click on windows boot manager at the bottom
yeah It failed
^
I clicked it and got this
it loaded
im in windows
Well thank God
I'm guessing I was trying to boot into something else
it worked !
This may be an issue with your motherboard bios
I'd recommend updating it
how do I do that
I just want to make sure everything is okay first
Open disk management and sent me a photo
Ok
Yup your recovery partition was automatically recovered
Is everything good now
im going to try loading Val
You may have to do that every time you boot
Just to make sure you should probably restart your system
Ok
Before I get off for the night
It loaded into windows
It didn’t make me do anything
Great
Something else u need to check?
Nope
Try Valorant
Alright
It worked
Thanks for the help I appreciate it <3
