Advance Secure Boot Options

I own a Inspiron 7420 with Phoenix Securecore Tiano UEFI Bios. Anyone know whether there is a way to modify the secure boot key options in BIOS? Because these seems like basic functionality and I just could not find it. This basically only allows secureboot to be used with Microsoft Windows! Argh!

    There are ways to modify Secure Boot with codes to accept other OSs. I have not looked into it. Search the web for help. You can deselect Secure Boot and run anything. SB is NOT required, just gives an additional amount (unknown) of security. With my I660, I had a faulty Win 8 install and could not repair it until I defeated Secure Boot; seems strange, doesn't it.. Dell Tech Support told me to NOT re-start SB. I have read of problems when it's re-activated.

    Thanks I found out the settings for adding keys is in the security tab. I wonder why didn't they put the options together with enabling secure boot in Boot options.
