The system requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have yet to be officially disclosed. However, based on prior Call of Duty games and the future game's TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements, the game would most certainly require at least Windows 10 (64-bit) with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled.
If your Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 won't start even with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled, please ensure that your system disk is GPT and BIOS settings are correctly configured for UEFI boot mode.
If not, you'd better convert your system disk from MBR to GPT and set the boot mode as UEFI. Let's show how it works.
Although Disk Management can convert MBR to GPT, it will delete all the volumes on your system disk. Thus, if you don't want to lose data, you'd better use EaseUS Todo Backup to back up your precious data saved on the previous MBR disk. After that, you're ready to change the partition style.
In this case, here comes a powerful partition manager, EaseUS Partition Master. With the help of this handy third-party tool, you can convert MBR disks to GPT disks without losing data.
Step 1. Install and launch EaseUS Partition Master on your computer.
Step 2. Open the Disk Converter tab, select "MBR => GPT" and click "Next" to continue.
Step 3. Choose the target MBR disk, and click "Convert" to start the conversion.
How to change BIOS mode from Legacy to UEFI? Here are the steps.
Step 1. Restart your PC > repeatedly press F2, Del, Esc, F10, F12, or another designated key until you enter the BIOS setup utility.
Step 2. In the BIOS settings, find the Boot or System Configuration tab > select UEFI in the UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode.
Step 3. Find the Save and Exit tab > keep your changes > exit the UEFI settings.
Here are the likely minimum requirements of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Please get an overview of them below.
