Ignore it. If it boots then it can be ignored. Secure boot is there purely to stop people being able to boot from a USB stick or CD. All on the pretence of "security" when in my eyes its a racket created by Microsoft to stop non tech people from booting into Linux.2

Secure boot is a security standard to help make sure that a device boots using only software that is trusted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer.
It doesn't prevent booting from USB, CD or even PXE0
