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

[m654321]

Does this topic of yours infer that LL2.6 64-bit is not UEFI enabled for either Live or Installed use and that another UEFI enabled distribution needs to be used to enable LL2.6 64-bit to be used in UEFI mode?

Hi Cusco,

The tutorial works very well for  UEFI enabled dual-boot set-ups for any LL version (i.e. from 2.0 onwards) combined with Windows (either versions 8.1 or 10).  It may well work with Win7 or Win8 too, and also for  LL versions earlier than 2.0, but have not needed to try these so don't really know. Yes,  Ubuntu (which has an official UEFI license from Microsoft, Linux Lite doesn't) is used in the live environment to install UEFI in Linux Lite.  If you print out the tutorial and follow it word-for-word, installation should be straightforward. Without Ubuntu, you won't be able to install LL in UEFI mode - see step D of the tutorial.

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 elsewhere on the LL forum...

Nehal J Wani has also posted several YouTube videos showing how to set up several different kinds of Linux distro in dual boot with Windows OS, with UEFI enabled.  Might be worth having a look at these if you are interested further...

Many thanks for your interest in this tutorial
Cheers
