Yes, set the OS Type to Windows UEFI so that Secure Boot is enabled and everything will be configured correctly.

    To install Windows 11, secure boot must be enabled and the BIOS must be in UEFI mode.

    Since your partition is in MBR mode, disabling CSM will prevent you from booting the system because it must be in GPT, which is also necessary to enable UEFI mode.

    Therefore, if you are going to do a clean installation of Windows, you need to disable CSM and delete the partitions during the installation. When you create a new one, it should automatically convert to GPT.

    Installing Windows 11?

    Check if Secure Boot is enabled, click on the Start menu and type msinfo32

    Search for Secure Boot and see if it is on.
