Before enabling Secure Boot, it's essential to verify whether your system uses Legacy BIOS (MBR) or UEFI mode, as enabling Secure Boot on a Legacy BIOS system could make your installation unbootable. Typically, UEFI mode is required for Secure Boot.
To check if you're using UEFI or Legacy BIOS:
1. Open the 'Run' dialog by pressing
Win + R

2. Type msinfo32
and press Enter....2 Replies

3. In System Information, look for the "BIOS Mode" line:
- It will say "UEFI" if you're already using UEFI.
- It will say "Legacy" if you're not.
If you're in Legacy mode, be cautious about switching to UEFI. You might need to back up your data and possibly reinstall Windows. For detailed guidance, check this support article: [UEFI Mode (https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/16941220890899-Addressing-Virtualization-based-security-VBS-settings-on-Windows-10-VAN9005-VALORANT)].
Enable Secure Boot in your UEFI firmware settings after confirming your system's compatibility.
