Hi all,
after changing secure boot in lagacy (for my testing with linux) and without put off secure boot password, now I enter in boot and all the changes I do never take effect, my windows 10 doesn't boot because it isn't efi boot.
I tried to update boot firmware version from 1.04 to 1.15 with a pe windows 64 bit but during flash it resets without update firmware.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks
Alberto

    >>>without put off secure boot password>>>

    "Without put off"????? What do you mean by this? You must set a supervisor password to try to get back to UEFI mode. You should install Linux in UEFI mode (not legacy mode) with a GPT-partitioned USB (not MBR partitioned USB). Jack E/NJ

    OK. Make sure machine is completely off. Then turn it back on and immediately start tapping the F2 key to access the BIOS password screen. Enter the BIOS menu with the password. Go to the Boot tab.
    (1) Is the mode set to UEFI and secure boot enabled? If not, can you change it to UEFI mode ***BEFORE*** you try to save settings and exit?
    (2) Is Windows boot manager first in the boot order?

    Was the HDD also re-partitioned to MBR in legacy mode? Jack E/NJ
