    Yeah.. Just disable UEFI boot on BIOS setup and flash new EC and BIOS. After that enable UEFI boot and everything is good.

    So I finally attempted this and everything worked perfectly, except that I cant turn secure boot on. whenever I go to the security tab in the bios i cant move up and down with the arrow buttons, it kinda freezes, but only in the security tab, the rest works fine. Anyone know what this is?

    I'm having a problem here. I extracted the .iso onto my boot USB but every time I launch from it, I get a generic startup error. It pushes me to a page that basically says Windows failed to start. My only option is to go into the BIOS settings. I've tried this using the .iso I got from Microsoft and an unmodified .iso I downloaded from TPB, and neither has worked.

    Any ideas?
