Hi,

my machine isn't very old. The mobo's firmaware provides the CSM
(Compatibility Support Module), but the GPU of the 
13th Gen Intel Core i3-13100 does not allow to enable CSM.

Now for something else. "Fast Startup and hibernation

There are two OSs that can be hibernated, you can hibernate Windows and
boot Linux (or another OS), or you can hibernate Linux and boot Windows,
or hibernate both OSs.
Warning: Data loss can occur if Windows hibernates and you dual boot
into another OS and make changes to files on a filesystem (such as NTFS)
that can be read and written to by Windows and Linux, and that has been
mounted by Windows. Similarly, data loss can occur if Linux hibernates,
and you dual boot into another OS etc. Windows may hibernate even when
you press shutdown, see section #Windows settings.

For the same reason, if you share one EFI system partition between
Windows and Linux, then the EFI system partition may be damaged if you
hibernate (or shutdown with Fast Startup enabled) Windows and then start
Linux, or hibernate Linux and then start Windows.

ntfs-3g added a safe-guard to prevent read-write mounting of hibernated
NTFS filesystems, but the NTFS driver within the Linux kernel has no
such safeguard.

Windows cannot read filesystems such as ext4 by default that are
commonly used for Linux. These filesystems do not have to be considered,
unless you install a Windows driver for them." -
