Then it is necessary to deactivate the Secureboot. This tool was
implemented in Windows 8 with the new UEFI Bios, as a safety mechanism
to prevent malicious software from booting in your PC, as well as “non
authorized” operating systems.

Therefore, this tool will block any operating system from starting,
besides Windows 8. So it must be deactivated.

In order to do that, it’s necessary to access your computer Bios, search
for the option “Secureboot” and change it to “Disabled”.
