Hi~guy
There are no options like "secure boot" on default bios of gigabyte laptops ,so you can't let usb device to visit uefi environment ,but if you want to re-flash mod bios , it need change few setup variable in efi shell environment.

Now, please read this article and following its step"5. Change BIOS Lock Variable"  to change variable 0xA12 to 0x0 , 0xA12 was variable of option"bios lock" correspond with you provided bios.


After the variable change and return to OS  ,use this tool to dump bios and attach it(run dump.bat as administrator) ,i'll edit it for you.
