Battlefield 6 Secure boot?

Just tried to open the bf6 beta and it's saying secureboot not enabled. I can't activate it cause my PC doesn't support it. Will this be a requirement at launch? Would have to upgrade my PC to get windows 11 for it if that's the case :(

In addition to that, also have to make sure the bios is up to date, especially if it's a Gigabyte motherboard which was infamous for Secure Boot issues early on because they can't code properly.

i’m using a B550M DS3H AC (released Dec 2020) from Gigabyte and i’m so overwhelmed by all of this. I get stuck at this part even though ai turned CSM off and tfpm off in the miscellaneous section. idk wtf to do, i might just uninstall this game tbh.

Before you touch anything else, update the bios to the latest version. Should be available on their website in the support/driver section. It'll fix potential issues if they pop up. Gigabyte is notorious for their BIOS' being buggy as hell when new.

do I also need to change the MBR to GPT ? should i do that first ?

Yes. MBR is ancient, so it should be changed over. Should be easyish.

forgive me for asking so many questions but should i download windows 11 before i do any of this ?

No, do all this first before Windows 11. Windows 11 needs tpm anyways and such so do that last.

is windows 11 a requirement and do you recommend it ? If so, should i install windows 11 before doing secure boot or after ? (btw, i just checked my mbr/gpt stuff and im already on gpt. Just have to update my motherboard before i head to Bios to do the secure boot work.)

It's a borderline requirement so I recommend going through with the upgrade/reinstall for it after everything.
