There are two separate Secure Boot keys Microsoft uses: one which they use to sign Windows, and another which they use to sign everything else (the "Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA"). AFAIK, some recent laptops with Windows preinstalled come by the default with the second one disabled in the BIOS (it's a new Microsoft requirement). To install Linux on these laptops without disabling Secure Boot, you have to go into the BIOS and enable that key.
