Nextbook EFI install

torreydale is correct.  As of yet there is not a UEFI version of Linux Lite.  LL's creator is currently considering adding that to next release in April/May and is running tests right now.  A final decision on this is likely a few months off.

In the meantime, you have two choices for installing LL to UEFI capable machines:
  1. Change UEFI settings to use Legacy/Bios/CSM mode instead of UEFI mode and install that way.  The install will work no differently than if you installed in UEFI mode.  HOWEVER, if you are planning to dual/multi-boot with Windows or other Linux distros that are installed already in UEFI mode, this will not be a good solution and it would be best if you don't attempt it.
  2. Install in Legacy mode, then us a live Ubuntu dvd/usb to convert the install to UEFI mode afterwards.  It's a bit awkward, but it's do-able.  Here is a tutorial for that process:  https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/tutor...y-enabled/ .
