Hello, I tried to disable secure boot in the BIOS of my computer (Toshiba Satellite L670) and I watched tutorials, but in the security section, there is no secure boot option (I have set a supervisor password).
Could you help me?

Hello,
What is your question..??
What do you want to do..?? Are you talking about display...? About password..? About secure boot..?

The problem might be that your PC is not in UEFI, so it doesn't have secure boot..?
We also don't know everything you may have done (or not) with all your forum readings..??
And normally your PC should boot with your USB stick (bootable) if you have correctly placed a corresponding ISO in it...
If your PC is in UEFI, you need an ISO that boots in UEFI
And if you are in MBR, you need an ISO that boots in MBR..

Here is how to refine the answer https://www.malekal.com/verifier-ordinateur-uefi-bios-legacy/
One important thing that guides the response is to know the age of this PC, the release date...
Let's say that since 2012, with Windows 8, PCs have generally become UEFI... There have been exceptions... but before that, even Windows 7 was installed in MBR... I must say it works very well too...
You used "Media Creation Tool", which is very good, did you do it on the PC where you want to do this installation...? Because it detects your OS version...?
Let's add that if it's not the original OS (you don't say anything about it), it can confuse the situation.
And this media creation, it does a bit what you tell it... But what did you tell it, we ignore that too, we don't even know what you loaded...

I used a USB drive for the installation of Windows; it is the original OS (Windows 7), and I told the media creation tool to make a bootable Windows 10 64-bit USB drive. However, during the last restart, I cannot boot the PC from the USB, it cancels the changes made. Furthermore, do you have a contact other than the Comment Ça Marche site? To be able to communicate more effectively, for instance, via Discord (or even Skype) or social networks, as I have limited time to upgrade the PC to Windows 10; in fact, starting Monday, I will need the PC for work purposes.
As for the BIOS mode (BMR or UEFI), I checked in msinfo32, but the line specifying the BIOS mode is missing.
I hope to receive a quick response, and thank you for your help.

If you're in a hurry, the most effective method is to create two ISO files on two USB drives
One drive with your Windows 7 (check which Windows 7, home, pro, family, etc.) in MBR format
And the other drive with the same version precautions but the file is for UEFI.
One of the two should boot on your PC... it's just the download time
and then you'll have Friday and Saturday to focus on finishing the PC settings.

Euh, I don't quite understand how to proceed, do I need 2 USB keys? And what is the purpose of a Windows 7 ISO if I want to upgrade to 10?
By the way, the error code given at the end is 0xc1900120-0x2000c
My discord for easier contact: ArmoredMeteor80#2004

No, I am a volunteer, I keep my private life and only give my opinion through the Forum, moreover, it is consultative..
I read in the Thread that you were on Windows 7, that’s why I mentioned Windows 7... In short, the idea is the same..
My text becomes:
--- Yes, I recommend making two USB sticks since you're in a hurry.
One with the Windows 10 ISO file with MBR boot.
And the other with the Windows 10 ISO file with UEFI boot.
One of the two should work.
Your error code is explained here: https://www.malekal.com/erreur-0xc1900101-mise-a-jour-windows10/ ... Outdated driver and/or peripheral hardware connected to the computer. By the way, this may be the reason for the refusal of your installation... and that Win 10 doesn't want it..?
I also think you will have issues with the Microsoft activation key.

I had already seen what the error code corresponded to, but does that mean I have to remove the installation key? Because all my drivers are up to date
Then, with your method, does that mean I have to use something other than the media creation tool? For example, Rufus?
As for the activation key, there is a label stamped Microsoft under the PC with "product key" written on it, so I suppose that's it. Also, I only have a USB key of at least 8 GB.

I'm not sure if "Product key" is actually the same as "Key Activation"..
Recent PCs have a key stored in the PC (a corner of the BIOS, I believe) and it's taken into account automatically... if you reinstall Windows, for example, if the dead disk is replaced... But it's only good for the same version... In your case, it will be an Upgrade..
That said, you have a month to activate and you can find keys for around €10 at Cdiscount or Amazon..
-- A 8GB key should be sufficient, I think...
-- Let's say that Ruffus or Media Creation is pretty much the same battle.. but with Media Creation from Microsoft, you'll get the latest version directly updated...
You can check this site for guidance on the procedure https://www.justgeek.fr/telecharger-iso-windows-10-32-bits-ou-64-bits-68797/
You can choose "For installation on another PC" and further along in chapter 7, it explains to select "The ISO file" so you'll download the Windows 10 ISO onto your PC
Then, you can burn this ISO onto a USB key with Rufus by choosing MBR for one key.... and also burn it onto another key by selecting UEFI
This choice in Rufus is made in "Partition scheme" and "Destination system"
And you attempt the installation with one key... Then the other if it doesn't work.
It's possible that your hard drive has defective sectors... without you knowing it and that's a reason for the installation of Windows being refused... that could be the cause of your error message..?? It's a possibility.

Yes, it's better to format the disk completely...
Of course, if you only have a USB drive of that size, you don't have much choice.
So do you have another PC or an external drive where you have put all your copies and backups?

So do you have another PC or an external drive where you have put all your copies and backups?
Why did you get into this... without preparing your affair and gathering information beforehand, and moreover without having time on your side...?
If it doesn’t work out, it’s for a reason...?
Originally, this PC
I invite you to read this about Windows licenses and the nuances surrounding them.
https://lecrabeinfo.net/tout-savoir-sur-les-licences-windows-retail-oem-vl-cle-produit.html
You can find your Windows key for your PC by downloading the following software.
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_oem_product_key_tool.html
Another possibility is that your disk has defects... Windows refuses installation on a disk with defects... That's something you should have checked beforehand.
-- You can remove the hard drive from your PC... and try to boot from your USB stick... if it doesn’t boot, it’s either that the PC has a failure, or your USB stick is poorly made or incompatible with your PC..
-- When attempting to boot via USB, you should see a screen with messages... send a very clear photo of that screen to the site cjoint.com and give the link here.. so we can see your photo. https://cjoint.com/
If it doesn’t work out, it’s for a reason...?
Originally, this PC
Toshiba L670-105was equipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit .... It is very common for branded PCs to come with an OEM version of Windows (customized and locked to this manufacturer and this PC, with a price adjusted by Microsoft as well) and you can't change it, let's say any other form of installation is almost impossible... if you ran into this, you’re out of luck.

So to keep it simple, complete uninstallation of Windows, to go to an Ubuntu disk (in trial mode without downloading) and open GParted to delete and recreate the partition, then we tried a bootable USB stick other than the old one and it worked, so if I have advice to give to those who want to do it, just don't do it, ask a professional.

OK, thank you for this enlightening response...
The problem was a disk partition issue... And a BOOTABLE key...
The story was poorly framed from the beginning because it was presented as a BIOS display issue... obviously the gap between the two is immense
And on top of that, you were in a hurry.
Good luck with everything... A+++

I would like to disable secure boot in order to boot my PC from a USB drive, but the secure boot option is not displayed in my BIOS.
