Secureboot has nothing to do with it. All secureboot means is that it
won't boot something that isn't signed by a trusted key. So if enabled
you wouldn't be able to even boot the installer if it wasn't signed.
I have not yet seen a machine where you can't disable secureboot.
For Windows 8 it was a requirement to allow disabling it (but to have
it enabled by default) to get a Windows 8 Lego on the box. I think
Windows 10 has the same requirement. Now on some machines you have to
set a UEFI admin password before you get the option to disable secureboot
for some reason.
