I think you have to disable UEFI before you can do this.

No, just the secure boot flag. Linux can EFI boot, and most UEFI bioses are perfectly happy to boot 'legacy' BIOS OS images as well. You just have to figure out how to disable windows-only mode.

If it's even enabled in the first place. I don't think my Thinkpad was, but I do remember my previous Asus did have it enabled.

There are boot managers that allow you to continue to use UEFI. I believe you do have to disable secure boot in windows though.
