Notes:
- If you're using IGPU as a Graphics Device, set Internal Graphics to Enabled and DVMT to 64MB.
- I you're using only Discrete Graphics, set Internal Graphics to Disabled.
- To disable Secure Boot, you might need to clear the Security keys, (Platform Keys (PK)) on some systems. These keys are located under "key Management."
- For some laptops, you need to set Administrator password when disabling Secure Boot otherwise you might get "Secure Boot Fail" message when booting using USB installer.
- For some Dell Laptops, if your Laptop restarts while plugging/unplugging the AC Adapter, try changing the Legacy Option ROMs setting. If it's enabled, try to disable it. If it's disabled, try to enable it.
- If your Motherboard or the Laptop doesn't have the options mentioned above, you can simply skip those settings.
