Windows 10→11 compatibility test asks for a change in BIOS UEFI settings, tutorials online don't show the same BIOS (I'm missing entries)

I'm trying to help someone make the change to his BIOS UEFI settings necessary to make his computer compatible with the upgrade from Win 10 to 11.

His motherboard (I don't know if that's the right term in English...) is an MSI H510M-A PRO.

When he boots into its BIOS, in the first section "Settings", he only has 4 entries: status, advanced, boot and exit. However every MSI tutorial I found online shows more options, among which "security" which seems to be very important for the process...

The only thing he could do was to change the boot mode to "UEFI", but then when he wanted to save and exit, he was warned that it was going to change 6 parameters of the BIOS, among which I think I saw (it's very hard to read a bright screen through a WhatsApp video call) a change from 64bit to 32bit, at which point I told him to stop dead, because I didn't know what that could imply, change or above all break.

I'm very sorry for the poor precision of this post, I'm trying to help someone with the little info I was given... Any help would be appreciated.

I don't own an MSI H510M-A PRO.

The online manual mentions that the BIOS settings have two modes: EZ and Advanced. One way to switch between them is using the F7 function key. It may be necessary to go into advanced mode to access the required features.

Your contact would need to enable PTT (platform trust technology), which is Intel's firmware TPM. The H510-M should have that. How to Enable TPM on MSI Motherboards Featuring TPM 2.0

Can you start PowerShell and type:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $env:firmware_type

to make sure that the system is running in BIOS mode

To officially upgrade from Win 10 to Win 11 you must have two requirements: Hardware (The MSI H510M-A PRO is on the approved list. You didn't mention the CPU but it probably also is) and Win 10 installed as UEFI - GPT.
Before you try to change BIOS settings, lets see how Win 10 is installed.
