Sorry to trouble you guys,
but like it says in the title, I'm finding that I am unable to disable secure boot. I can change the boot mode from UEFI to Legacy BIOS and that disables secure boot, but in Legacy mode I can't do what I'm trying to. I can't select the Secure Boot menu in the BIOS options--it's always greyed out. I've done some research and some sources said to hold shift while shutting down "to ensure you're really stopping Windows before trying to enter the BIOS" and hitting F2 on startup. I tried that but it made no difference. I've tried fiddling around with getting to the BIOS in other ways (forgotten how, now) and of course that made no difference. I'd appreciate any help and would be so happy to get this resolved.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Acer Aspire V-3551 that came with Windows 8 preinstalled.
Thanks
