    Lenovo Ideapad 100-15IBY with Windows 8.1 preinstalled difficulty loading kali

    Okay I've got a usb which i used Win32 disk imager to make into a live usb as per the instructions on the homepage . However i have a Lenovo Ideapad which came with preinstalled Windows 8.1 with Bing and im trying to dual boot Kali Linux on it . Im not getting very far though .
    I've turned off fast boot in power options and i got to the boot menu and specified boot with my usb . But when it does it comes up With a blue box saying that my usb is blocked by the current security policy . So now im lost . Because the imager also reduced the space on my usb so i cant add the Mokmanager and grub thing which another thread talks about .
    I'm lost here can someone please help

    That security policy is Secure Boot. Disable it from UEFI boot settings.

    Don't enable Legacy BIOS. Rest everything is same.
