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
<A HREF="http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Aldi-PC-becomes-first-retail-PC-with-UEFI-Secure-Boot-1635893.html">http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Aldi-PC-becomes-first-retail-PC-with-UEFI-Secure-Boot-1635893.html</A>
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.
