this question is specific for Asus H170. so please dont rush and mark it duplicate.

I am trying to follow the general guidelines of disabling the secure boot. But in the Asus H170 UEFI I can't find such option.

I want dual boot because I play games on Windows and do Machine/Deep Learning on Ubuntu. GTX 1080 | i5 6500.

I have spent almost a day but still confused. If anyone has done in Asus H170/Z170 please help me.

My bios looks like this. This guy confused me a lot.

  • In your BIOS, go to the BOOT tab. Scroll down to CSM, ensure Launch CSM is Enabled. Scroll back down the BOOT tab to Secure Boot, change the OS Type to "Other OS". Save and reboot/exit. – Delorean Mar 21 '17 at 15:17
  • The advice above will make the factory installed Windows unbootable. You really need to follow the instructions you linked. –  Mar 21 '17 at 16:10
  • @CelticWarrior I just did follow those instructions. restarted pressed F8 at the start - selected the USB as boot device it still loads windows. used Rufus - GAT Partition - FAT32 bootable usb device. not sure what I am missing here. – Jack Mar 21 '17 at 16:25
  • See my answer to this question for some pointers on launching the firmware's setup utility, and this page of mine for several illustrated examples of disabling Secure Boot. Unfortunately, there's no standardization on this matter; it even varies from one model to another from the samer manufacturer. Thus, in the end you may need to figure it out for yourself. – Rod Smith Mar 21 '17 at 19:12
