Greetings Less Normal and Welcome Linux Lite. I never liked Best Buy either. I bought my desk top HP both of them from Walmart. About your problem first thing you have to do with Windows is download Malewarbytes, it is free , and clean your computer. They will do that without cost. There is plenty of help on here for booting LL into a UEFI secure boot computer.
If you take the good one you have running and download any Ubuntu or Mint flavored distro and write it to a USB stick you will be able to boot with UEFI - secure boot as they all come with a key that is recognized by Microsoft. You can always work from there. I noticed Mike added a video guidance that will guide you how to boot LL step by step recently if your care to go through
all that. You can search for it in forums. Regards.
