This is reversible so no need to worry about breaking the warranty or damaging the BIOS.
BIOS’s Secure Boot menu should show Secure Boot state as enabled and Platform Key (PK) state as loaded
Here are the steps on how to disable the UEFI secure boot:

Select Key Management
Select Clear Secure Boot keys
You will have the option Install default Secure Boot keys to restore the default keys after you cleared the Secure Boot Keys
After you cleared the Secure Boot Keys, Secure Boot will be automatically be disabled.
