Hi, Secure boot is a feature of Windows 8 which uses a public-key infrastructure to verify the integrity of the Operating System and prevent unauthorized programs such as boot kits from infecting the device. I checked the BIOS of your system model and there is no option to disable secure boot. Before installing Windows 8, I would suggest you to run Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant by clicking the link mentioned below, it will scan system hardware, apps, and connected devices to see if they'll work with Windows 8: [URL] You may refer to the link mentioned below for some more information: [URL] Thanks & RegardsManshu S#iworkfordell
