I had a Windows 8 laptop like this. Not only that, it rejected Shim too. Never managed to install Linux on it. Weirdly I had to leave secure boot option turned off too after a while, because more and more games started to have issues with the nVidia GPU. There was a RPG I forgot the name, isometricish that would outright crash if secure boot was turned on.
