Hey guys, having a bit of a struggle turning on secure boot.
Most tutorials/articles I have found tell me to go under Security tab in BIOS and turn it on, however I don’t have a security tab available.
I have an Asus B650-Plus motherboard and Ryzen 7 7700 cpu if that is of any assistance.
Windows 11 - Can't Turn On Secure Boot - Republic of Gamers Forum - 999079
Can't enable secure boot on ASUS B550F wifi
Windows 11 - Can't activate secure boot - Republic of Gamers Forum - 835536
Secure boot is enabled but it shows "unsupported"

It turns out that "setup" does in fact equate to "disabled".
The steps above are functional, and one can verify this with:
- In a unix system, either of
mokutil --sb-state- or
dmesg | grep -E 'secure|nvidia'
- In windows:

No. Here is the correct answer: Change OS Type to Other OS
See: https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1049829/
Note: Some newer Asus Bioses allow you to just toggle Secure Boot On and Off. Note: You can also try enabling CSM "Compatibility Support Module"
You cannot install Windows 11 with Legacy BIOS. Installing in Legacy or CSM mode on a modern UEFI BIOS is like buying a new car and disabling all of the safety and performance features.
So you'd either need to reinstall Windows 10 exactly as I wrote out with illustrated tutorials, install Windows 11 in UEFI mode which I again gave you illustrated tutorials showing how to do this, or if you want to try to convert your present install to UEFI you can try this method:

Once you convert the install and enable UEFI mode in BIOS, hopefully Secure boot will be apparent in the BIOS settings.
If not, then again I told you every single step you should make, even provided your BIOS Manual, the latest BIOS Update, how to contact Asus Support or a dozen different Asus forums that can help you with the specific settings in your Asus BIOS, since they are all different.
There is no one else on the web who would have taken the time and effort to do all of this research for you, posted back step by step instructions, each step illustrated by a tutorial explaining how to do it.
Hi Alireza. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.
There's a November 2021 BIOS Update here if yours is not updated:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Mo...
Then you can read the Manual here to find out how to enable Secure Boot:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Mo...
If it's still not clear then contact Asus Support to find out how to enable Secure Boot on your BIOS:
https://www.asus.com/support/
You can also ask in Asus forums:
https://blog.feedspot.com/asus_forums/
Is Windows presently installed in UEFI mode, as this can make a big difference in Secure Boot showing up? If you're unsure type System Information in Search, open and look for BIOS mode.
If not installed to UEFI I'd consider reinstalling to UEFI either with WIndows 10 doing this gold standard Clean Install which includes everything that works best in Windows 10: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...
or do a Windows 11 Clean Install:

Make sure to create the bootable media using Media Creation Tool only, boot the media as a UEFI device, delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to clear formatting, then select the Unallocated Space and click Next to let the installer create and format the needed partitions - which makes it foolproof.
Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll report back results for each step it can help determine what else needs to be tried. I will stick with you until it is fixed.
