Here is the bios details as requested.
Computer make/model is indicated in the name of this thread.
If someone later can communicate worked instructions for this bios, then I might try again.
Meantime, this laptop will stay on LM xfce, or MX linux.

I've just looked into this thread for the first time. It looks like a nightmare! WTF!!
In my laptop, Lenovo Ideapad 510, turning off secure boot is just one click. I've done it once, never turned it on again.
I always have legacy boot support turned on for booting Puppy from usb. I don't think I've managed uefi boot from usb even if the usb was prepared for it. My bios doesn't recognise the Puppy 'uefi' setup as such. But I do not try very hard. Uefi and secure boot are quite useless annoyances anyway, just needed to boot recent windows. I set usb up with grub4dos for legacy boot, the 'old way'.
Looking at the pictures of your bios, I notice that you have fast boot on and CSM off. Shouldn't it be the other way around.
Maybe this info from Barry is usefull:
