I always make this one BIOS change on all my PC builds

There are countless security measures baked into your motherboard's software that help keep your entire PC safe from harm. One of these features is called Secure Boot, and it's something that can prove invaluable or troublesome depending on what the device is and how you plan to use it. Unfortunately, Secure Boot can get in the way of trying to install certain software on your system and can often interfere where it's not wanted. That's why I always disable it on all my systems.
