HP Recommended
Product: Envy 17 notebook J011-nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This computer was new with Windows 8.  Upgraded to 8.1 then went to Windows 10.

 

I am trying to set up a dual boot system with Windows and Linux Mint.  I have turned off fast boot but cannot turn off secure boot.  Before partioning the HD, I downloaded and installed the most recent download for the Bios/UEFI from HP.  Now everytime I turn off secure boot and hit "Save and Exit", it reverts back to secure boot being on. 

 

With secure boot, Linux will not run because not all Linux Distros have the signatures required to have a dual boot system running secure boot and rather than having to dig into the UEFI settings, I'm at a loss for what to do.  I thought it was required that OEM's include secure boot for Windows but the consumer/customer could turn it off if they want.  

 

Is there something I am missing?  Some other reason secure boot won't turn off?  Can I revert back to a previous bios setup to enable me to turn off secure boot and leave it off?

 

Thank you in advance for any help.
