Unless...

Unless it has "Secure Boot" that can't be overridden. If no override,
then you're limited to a very few major distros who have paid Microsoft
for keys for secure boot keys. Or unless you go through a seven year
old poorly documented procedure that's ten times harder than installing
Arch and installing Gentoo put together. Make *sure* any secure boot
can be overridden.
