I can't see to disable driver signatures...I get to this point:
After it restarts again, you will be given a list of startup settings. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
-Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers without any error message.
The numbered options show up, but when I type F7 (or 7), nothing happens. If I hit "Enter," nothing happens. The screen stays up and I have to hard boot to get back to Windows. Any clues?

Unusual error.....
Just for reference, I used this URL to figure out how to disable the driver signatures, it has pictures which I desperately needed to figure things out

The second URL, down in the comments section talks about a problem with a keyboard that has "Action Keys". If on the keyboard you have "Action Keys" , they are keys that adjust brightness/music controls/volume controls that share a key with the F keys. With Action Keys enabled, you might have to press Function + F7 to get the standard F7 behavior. Meanwhile the F7 key without the Function key might be doing other things. You can also disabled the Action Keys in the BIOS and this might help you be able to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
I also read somewhere else where someone needed to make sure and press the f7 fast enough for it to accept the change...
Anyway, hope somewhere in this is something that helps!
