what is "platform reset"?

greets!

I have a new notebook I want to install Debian/Trinity on.

'Secure Boot' is turned on. maybe this doesn't account for the 
problems I'm having but my question is about it.

in the BIOS I can turn it off but it says doing so "requires platform 
reset." turning it off within Windows simply reboots to the BIOS.

I can't figure out if this is just another word for 'reboot' 
or does it have other consequences? googling yields no clear (or 
trustworthy) answer.

it's an Asus Zenbook with Windows 10 Home; BIOS is American Megatrends 
version 300.

f.
