Looks like I had to answer my own question. Build a new gaming machine to load Pop OS on and use the existing gamer kinda as a "server" since all I really need is Steam loaded on both to play my Windows based games on Linux. Yeah, I kinda figured coming here with this question was akin to...

High all, it's been a while since 2021........ I recently had an interaction with Microsoft, my Hotmail account, which I almost never use was hacked. While they helped me fix it they turned my local login into a Microsoft login and after searching through a miasma of unnecessary and out of...

Anyone else have any non computer hobbies they'd like to share?

Well just in case I have an ASUS Prime X470-Pro. Had TMP Firmware, UEFI and Secure Boot enabled in BIOs but it still wouldn't show as enabled when I ran HWiNFO64 and kept failing the test. I then converted my primary drive from MBR to GTP and everything worked, all green across the board.

Black powder shooting, living history are some of my non computer related hobbies. I'm working on a powder horn to go with the rest of my collection.

Yeah, I'll upgrade. In about five or six years.

Pretty sure I'm gonna wait not only for the final release to come out but I might wait six months to a year before I finally upgrade. That way most of the bugs will have been worked out.

I just always used Startisback and set the look for Windows 7.

Did you check in BIOs first to see if TPM was there and just not enabled?

Hi all. Just came over from the Ten Forum after half a day of working on getting my desktop compatible. It's compatible now.

I ended up using EaseUS Partition tool to convert my MBR to GPT without losing all my data. Had to buy the pro version to do it though............ As for switching from legacy to UEFI that's done in your BIOs setup.

I had to convert from MBR to GPT to enable UEFI Boot and Secure Boot also and now my computer passes the test (after also enabling TPM in BIOs and updating my BIOs).
