Went by house where machine is, and went into BIOS. Shows that secure boot was enabled and loaded, but it showed no option to disable it. Going into details, it showed it had a windows OS setup, and had various options to remove the keys, but wasn't clear if that would just disable the secure boot, or would make the machine not boot any OS?? I'm assuming the Fedora 31 install setup the EFI boot using a windows compatible option. Other than selected a standard partition setup instead of LVM, I did the defaults on the install. Will have to do some more research. It is an ASUS motherboard with quad processor.
