Someone I help remotely via Teamviewer bought a Win 8 Lenovo laptap and asked me for help getting it set up.
It's a Lenovo - IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro Ultrabook with Win 8.1 preinstalled

She also bought an external USB DVD burner.
I created a bootable Macrium Rescue disc so we can restore from a Backup Image if needed.
The laptop won't boot from the USB DVD drive and gets a "blocked by the current security policy" error.
How can I boot from an external USB drive?
Is there a setting in BIOS that will allow booting from the DVD?
I found this thread in the Lenovo forum for a different model that mentions "turn off secure boot", if it's an available option.

I found this Lenovo BIOS simulator but I don't see a listing for a Yoga 2 Pro, so I'm not sure what settings are possible in this laptop.
