Tutorial: How to set up a Windows/Linux Lite dual-boot with UEFI fully enabled.

[cuscotravelservices]

I'm a bit confused by the rest of your post as it's a bit off topic.  The aim of the present tutorial was to provide more detailed instructions, to accompany  Nehal J Wani's original YouTube video, which showed how to set-up a LL 2.0 / Windows 8.1 UEFI enabled dual-boot.  If you want to discuss setting up other distros, using either UEFI or Legacy, may I suggest you begin a new discussion thread on this.  It would probably be more productive for you discussing this elewhere on the LL forum...

Hi Mike,

For the other distributions, I have used, including Linux Mint which is also based on Ubuntu, I have never needed to follow a procedure such as detailed in your tutorial.

My Laptop (Lenovo B590) was bought with only FreeDOS installed. As per instructions on the Internet, I installed Windows 8.1 Pro with the UEFI configured as I noted in my previous post. Hence, when installing Linux Mint 16 64-bit, GRUB was installed in UEFI mode. Linux Mint 16 64-bit was the first Linux OS I installed on this Laptop. I used Rufus in Windows 8.1 to make a UEFI bootable Live USB for Linux Mint 16 64-bit. I followed the Tutorial created by gold_finger at the following page.

Therefore, I was wondering if it was necessary to be following your procedure for the 64-bit edition of Linux Lite 2.6?

Maybe, I would only need to use sudo update-grub from Calculate Linux or a Linux Live USB that boots in UEFI mode?

Thanks, MTB.
