I have downloaded version 5 of Oracle Virtualbox as it has USB 3.0 support; useful as my new laptop doesn't have USB 2.0.
I installed win 8.1 in Virtualbox - guest additions installed successfully.
I then noticed that Virtualbox version 5 has UEFI support, so thought I'd create another win 8.1 virtual machine, though this time with EFI enabled, to see if there was any advantage conferred with UEFI. At the beginning of the installation, using anwin8.1 installation CD, I was then presented with the screen below in Virtualbox, but don't know what to do next... any ideas?

Also, how is Secure Boot enabled in Virtualbox? Is it possible? Does it confer any advantages over the default 'standard boot' in Virtualbox?
Many thanks for any help with this.

Mike
