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

UEFI installation for LL3.0 in a Win8.1/LL3.0 dual boot

With the release of LL3.0, I thought I might replace my Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI dual boot with a Win8.1/LL3.0 one. So, Win8.1 was cloned from the HDD master copy onto a fresh SSD, and LL3.0 installed in a dual boot fashion, as described in Section C of the tutorial - all proceeded as normal.
However problems were experienced subsequently in Section D (Installation of UEFI using Ubuntu Live Media).

As LL3.0 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, an iso file of the latter was burned to DVD and used for installing UEFI to LL3.0.
In Section D, I was unable to install UEFI to LL3.0 as it appears that the use of the  ' --force ' command is deprecated in Ubuntu 16.04, though according to the advice output from the terminal, the '--allow' command could be used in its place. However, when I substituted --force for --allow it didn't resolve matters, though that's probably due to my command-line inexperience. 

Finally, I repeated Section D, but this time used Ubuntu 14.04 for installing UEFI to LL3.0.  Though the --force issue didn't come up, it didn't fully work, probably because Ubuntu 14.04 would be 'out of sync' with LL3.0 (based on 16.04).

Following the above failed attempt, I've now returned to using the LL2.8/UEFI dual-boot set-up. This means that Windows/LL series2  UEFI dual boot set-ups will be good till April 2019, at which time support for the LL2 series will end. 

The above glitch is not too disappointing for me personally, as I think I prefer either LL2.8 or LL2.6 over LL3.0, though I'm not sure why.  If you're reading this and have discovered a way round the --force issue for installing UEFI to LL3.0, then please do share the solution on this popular thread.
