+The best way, in my opinion, is to find out what motherboard is in the
+system, find the user manual online, and check it out.
+
+Given the story at
+http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Aldi-PC-becomes-first-retail-PC-with-UEFI-Secure-Boot-1635893.html
+at present, anything that has been on the market for more than 1 month,
+will NOT have secure boot available, let alone not be able to be disabled.
+
+So, it's only going to become a problem at some point in the future.
