Ran that and three things were RED

X Boot method - Legacy
X Disk Partition type - GPT Not detecetd
X Secure Boot - Disabled / Not detected

Those things are fixable if your motherboard supports UEFI:

Disk partition - you fix this by converting MBR to GPT.
Boot method - you fix this by changing Legacy to UEFI boot mode in your bios.
Secure Boot - you enable it in your BIOS.

Here's a bunch of links on how to do those things, obvs BIOS UI differs by manufacturer so you'll have to look that up if you struggle to find the settings.

There is an issue to be aware of, if you have one of the nvidia gpus listed then changing boot mode can cause a problem if your card doesn't have the latest firmware, so check it first:

Post Screen/BIOS doesn't display with DisplayPort

Hey guys, so I've looked all over the web and it seems people are having similar issues. I cannot see the post screen or get into the BIOS when using displayport. The monitor shows a black screen until it boots into Windows. Once in Windows I'm all good 1440p 144Hz with G-Sync. HDMI works fine, a...

It's definitely an UEFI motherboard, as the latest BIOS mentions this in the description: "Addresses potential UEFI vulnerabilities. (LogoFAIL)"

I imagine you might have to enable secure boot and TPM before reinstalling Windows before those will change to green. So if you want Windows 11, you could use the it's installer to see if it lets install Windows 11. If you get as far managing the disk partitions from the USB installer, you should have no issues.

Which BIOS version are you on? It would be a good idea to get your motherboard updated to the latest one (F19 at time of posting), especially if you're on an older version.

Edit: Which motherboard revision (1.0, 1.1, etc) do you have? It looks there are several versions, so the above BIOS versions may differ depending on your motherboard revision.
1.3 / 1.2: FE
1.0 / 1.1: F19

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to install Windows on that BIOS, but I'd still update it to FE anyway. With the few changes in your BIOS mentioned above, it should be painless.

Not had the pop ups on two laptops nor two pcs, some ok to 'upgrade' some not.

The only thing I have on them all is in the advanced options I have all the update notifications for ms products turned off.

It may just be a matter of time till it pops up. So to speak.
