Aha, that'll be it.
Except for non-PC-compatible things like Itanium machines and
Chromebooks, all PCs have BIOS emulation in UEFI so that they can boot
DOS and older versions of Windows. I did not think you could turn that
off.
But almost everyone makes it possible to turn off SecureBoot, or else
your buyers cannot change from Windows 8 to anything else - which
would be very unpopular.
