As required by the Windows 8 logo program it has the option to disable Secure Boot (it was disabled at delivery according to the article) and possibilities to load your own keys into the ROM.

When the time comes to get a new desktop I'll probably get a system 76 because linux is the default OS and I wouldn't have to deal with keys. All I have to do is remove ubuntu and put another distro.
