## Disabling UEFI Secure Boot

To disable Secure Boot, set the supervisor password in the BIOS settings. Then you should be able to disable Secure Boot and boot Arch.

## Changing SATA mode to AHCI

To change SATA mode to AHCI, in BIOS settings navigate to the Main tab. If you do not see `SATA Mode` settings press `Ctrl+s` and navigate tabs forwards and backward. `SATA Mode` option should now appear.

## Configuration
