Hi, have acer one 10 with windows 10 version 1803.  This version broke the backup functions of windows for 32 bit machines and I have been going nuts trying to get this thing to boot clonezilla.  I can finally get it to load grub, but the security functions kills it from there.  Is there a way to turn off secure boot?  I couldn't find anything in the bios setup.  It's a nice little laptop alternative but not being able to do a backup image regularly can lead to ultimate disaster.

    Never mind, with some help, found I could get there with the windows 10 recovery settings.  was able to turn off secure boot and am now verifying  a backup image by Clonezilla.  Clonezilla is the best solution till Microsoft gets off their butt and fix the 32 bit wbengine.exe.
