My motherboard (a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H) has had Secure Boot added through a firmware update. It allows me to disable Secure Boot, and lets me import custom keys.

How do you upgrade firmware? My computer has one of those checks that looks for "windows" in the boot string. I just want to rip it out.

My motherboard offers a firmware update tool during boot. It can read firmware images from a FAT32-formatted USB drive.

Does it allow MS/other keys to be deleted?
