    I am using a Sony Vaio 64 bit laptop running on Windows 7 Home Basic.

    I plan to upgrade it to Windows 8. I ran the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant. It says that though my laptop supports Windows 8, Secure Boot is not compatible with my PC.

    Can I go ahead and install Windows 8? What will happen without Secure Boot?​

    As long as your windows 7 is running fine, I think it's not a big problem to windows 8

    it only means that your pc doesn't have the capability of secure boot (uefi bios) the message is misleading because it says that you cannot run win8 but its false
