The nice thing about the Trekstore Surftab Wintron 7 is that is has a proper UEFI, because it is delivered with Windows 10.

When attaching a keyboard via microUSB and pressing ESC while booting, we first see a general screen, where we can choose several things to do:
 Boot Manager: Choosing "Boot Manager", we find all startup entries that are registered in the UEFI.
 Device Management:
Boot from File:
Secure Boot Option:  Although not activated when shipped, it seems to be possible to deactivate it. Furthermore all the functionality to load own keys seems to be there.
SCU (System control unit of the Intel SOC): I was completely astonished by the functionality and options included here.



We can even get an old-school boot output!!!
