    I'm sure your suggestion doesn't work. Not because is wrong but because the OP isn't going to read it just like he did with clover/duet ones ;)

    Obviously is there, w/o it boot on MBR disks wouldn't be possible, but a lot of people (included me) have working installations on MBR VMs and pre UEFI PCs

    Since MS said Win11 is UEFI-only I thought they may remove it from final build.
    So OP can use legacy booting and boot without UEFI

    Possible
    OP said no BIOS compatibility module is his UEFI bios, that's why I suggested to look to more "esoteric" solutions like Clover
