    This is the first I post here,and I would like to seek some help

    I owe the SVS151190S and uses the latest BIOS(R0143C5)
    but when I upgrade to 8.1,it said secure boot isn't cofigured correctly.

    So I'm looking for a new BIOS which has the secure boot option.
    Did anyone here has SVS1511xxx and flash the SVS1512xxx/SVS1513xxx BIOS(R1021C8)?

    Any comment is appreciated :)

    I know SVS1511x and SVS1512x uses different BIOS version,
    since SVS1511x pre-installed Windows 7,while SVS1512x pre-installed Windows 8

    I tried to download the BIOS for SVS1512x from US,it said this is not compatible for my model.
    So I went to UK for Model SVS15112C5E,the BIOS is R1021C8(same as SVS1512x)
    And I can open the update module with no warnings

    So I wondered,the BIOS for SVS1511 is it the same as SVS1512?

    Just tried, it says does not work, says this firmware is not for this computer, or something like that.

    Hmmm that was scary
