    Had you checked to see whether it would be a supported or unsupported installation?

    The Gainward GeForce GT 730 graphics card has Windows 11 drivers. And all other requirements except for UEFI are met, and I'm also not sure about TPM. So, maybe after all I need to stick with Windows 10. . .

    UEFI is often available in the BIOS.
    In some BIOS it is UEFI native (without CSM) and others UEFI hybrid (with CSM)
    If Legacy and UEFI are displayed in the BIOS then the optimal time to change settings is immediately prior to a clean install or drive replacement.
    Modify the BIOS as needed to UEFI without CSM > clean install Windows > drive partition will be GPT

    If you are using the motherboard and the cpu in your spec although I realise you now have a Gainwward GT730 to replace the 480 then be aware your CPU isnot supported on 11
    It is 2009 vintage and has no TPM
    Intel(R) Core™ i7-950 Processor

    You could get round that if the board offered Trusted Platform chip to be turned on in the firmware but it does NOT.
    In fact I am not even sure the firmware is UEFI I think it is traditional BIOS - only
    P6X58D Premium - Support

    I think 11 as far as any normal install of that is concerned is a real non starter
