Thanks for your reply Rob  Smile
So, from what you said above, LL3.0 (with UEFI) installed without a hitch on the Dell 3135?
Does this mean for you that the terminal accepted the use of --force for the following lines where you're 'shimming'...
Code:
apt-get purge -y --force-yes grub* shim-signed linux signed*
and
Code:
apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-efi-amd-signed shim-signed linux-signed-generic

As I mentioned previously, when the install of LL3.0 (with UEFI) was attempted on my Asus G750, the terminal said  --force was deprecated in 16.04. It suggested using --allow, but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Sad

I also got the error about that being deprecated, but just ignored it and went on, and everything seems to have successfully completed  I'm on that same machine now, with a UEFI version of LL 3.0. Hit or miss, I suppose.

I'm glad it DID work out for me, as I'm not going to switch back and forth between UEFI Secure Boot and Legacy all the time. If they only had a UEFI version of Redo Backup...
