Suggested Answer: AE 🗳️
E: Need to use the UEFI mode to get the UEFI Security features.
A: If you want to ensure that your drive boots into a certain mode, use drives that you've preformatted with the GPT file format for UEFI mode, or the MBR file format for BIOS mode. When the installation starts, if the PC is booted to the wrong mode, Windows installation will fail. To fix this, restart the PC in the correct firmware mode.

Chat GPT said B and E To ensure that the computers can use Secure Boot after upgrading to Windows 10, you should perform the following two actions: B. Enable the TPM chip - Secure Boot requires a TPM chip to store and protect encryption keys used for secure boot process. E. Convert the firmware from BIOS to UEFI - Secure Boot requires UEFI firmware to enable and enforce security policies during the boot process. Therefore, options B and E are correct. Options A, C, and D are not required for enabling Secure Boot.
