it shouldn’t reset your device, secure boot is only there to prevent someone from doing exactly what you’re trying to do, booting another os on the computer, that said, if you’re going to mess around with a linux installer without full knowledge of what you are doing you should absolutely back up your entire drive first, the easiest method being phisically removing the hard drive and putting another one in
in the bios config menu, you can access it when you start up your computer and spam the appropriate keyboard key, you can find out which key it is by the brand of the computer, or the brand of the motherboard if you assembled the pc yourself, then inside the bios config menu you will find the secure boot option.
for example, on my computer, I need to turn it off completely, then press the power button and quickly press the f2 key repeatidely, then instead of launching my operating system, it launches the bios config menu, and in that menu, under the “boot” section, I find a line called “secure boot” which I can enable and disable, once i’ve done so, I press f10 to save the configs I made, and boot my system where I want
I’m sorry but I don’t get what you mean. If I disable secure boot does my device get reset?

f12 iirc, and it’s normal mode
