Question Secure boot not enabled even though it is in bios, please help!

It should be pointed out that before following the above instructions you should have a fully tested system backup ready to go as if the process (and it does on occasion) should fail partway through you will need it.

Windows is installed in legacy mode.
You have to convert to UEFI compatible first.
Execute from elevated command prompt. Validate first, then convert.
mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS​
mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOS​

Then boot into BIOS and set first boot device to Windows Boot Manager.

Something is wrong its not working I think, I try to convert via elevated command prompt and get the following:

Then I go into BIOS and I'm not sure which to pick but this is in the boot menu in the UEFI bios:

There is no option that says "Windows Boot Manager"

Any ideas? Thank you so much for your help so far :)

You can create EFI bootloder on 3TB drive, boot from it in UEFI mode and then perform upgrade to windows 11.
Execute following from elevated command prompt. Regular command prompt will give error on last step.
If you get any errors, then stop immediately.
diskpart​
list disk​
select disk 1​
(select 3TB disk)​
list partition​
select partition X​
(select 2794GB partition, replace X with appropriate number, X=1 or X=2)​
shrink desired=500​
create partition efi size=500​
format fs=fat32 quick​
assign letter=H​
exit​
bcdboot C:\windows /s H: /f UEFI​

Last message should be "Boot files created successfully".

If everything went without errors, then
boot into BIOS and change boot priority.
Set first boot device to
UEFI OS on 3TB drive (should say Windows Boot Manager, but this can depend on BIOS version).

Then boot into windows 10 and upgrade to windows 11 should become available
(assuming you have already enabled TPM 2.0).

So I don't have a 3 TB drive. What I'm thinking is formatting everything and just making a windows 11 USB media creation tool and booting from that. Is there anything I should be aware of like what disk format should I format in fat32? Will doing this media creation tool make it boot into secure boot or are there additional steps I need to do. Your help is greatly appreciated! Any other tips or information I need to know before doing this would be a life saver ty
