16 of my applications and devices are compatible with Win 8.0. Only 2 need some help. One of them I have never heard about before. That's this "Secure Boot" thing.
"Secure Boot requires firmware that supports UEFI v. 2.3.1 Eratta B and has the MS Windows Certification authority in the UEFI signature database."
Can I get along without it? And the other is a different driver to play DVDs in Windows 8. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can I upgrade to Win 8.0 without Secure Boot?
