I wish to install Windows 11 on a Asrock B550 - PG Velocita, but, it will not install because of secure boot.  When I try to enable secure boot it says to disable CSM.  When I do that the computer keeps booting back into the BIOS.  I have to reinstall the UEFI to the BIOS to get it to work again.  Please help.  Thanks for any replys.

so if you disable CSM and save and exit, CSM gets enabled back? that means some of your hardware is not uefi compatible

To KERBEROS_20, You were right. It was the formatted hard drive.  Installed a different hard drive worked like a charm.  Down side is that I had to reinstall the operating system and almost lost everything. It works now.  Thank you for your suggestion.

you could use mbr2gpt tool from windows boot media to convert your drive to uefi, without loosing any data
