    I have clean installed Win 8.1, however it has a watermark about secure boot isn't configured. So i googled and found, that i have to enable secure boot. But there are no option for secure boot in 219 bios.
    P.S. There is also a "launch efi shell from filesystem" when i press on it it says, that image is not found. Is it ok?

    They may have locked/hidden it intentionally. You can try getting in touch with Asus support to see if there's another way to enable/disable it.

    Just got a reply from Asus support.
    No. This is not an option. First of all - i have removed my recovery partition. Than i had Windows 7, not 8. To much of hustle to check this.

    It looks like we've lost our secure boot keys. I have got nothing useful from Asus support

    ANy update on this ? Am facing the same issue.
    I replaced the SSD , and now it can't boot.
    There are no 'CSM" or "Secure Boot" options in BIOS :(
    How to solve this ? Is it possible to manually create the required partition ?
