Note: Depending on your computer's manufacturer and BIOS version, the exact steps to disable Secure Boot may vary. Look for a section related to "Boot," "Security," or "Authentication."
Once you're in the appropriate BIOS section, locate the "Secure Boot" option. It may be labeled as "Secure Boot Control" or similar.

Reboot your computer
Right when the computer is coming up from the black screen, press Delete, Esc, F1, F2, or F4. Each computer manufacturer uses a different key but it may show a brief message at boot telling you which one to press. If you miss it the first time, reboot and try again. It helps to tap the key about twice a second when the computer is coming up. If you are not able to enter the BIOS via this method, consult your computer's manual.
In the BIOS settings, find the configuration items related to Boot. These can be in under the headings Security, Boot, or System Configuration.
Find the option Secure Boot (or anything similar) and set it to Disabled.
Press F10 to save your BIOS settings and select [Yes].
