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

[m654321]

UPDATE 12
Refer to post #1 (tutorial) in this thread (tutorial); Section F, Problem 3: occasional hanging of Linux Lite at start-up screen
Observation: LL hanging at boot-up appears to be an SSD issue - not a UEFI one.

I can now report that the above issue appears to be linked to the use of a solid-state drive rather than being a problem of UEFI. Evidence for this is given in the paragraph below. The Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI set-up,  experiencing the above problem, has two SSDs (both Samsung Evo 850). One is 250 GB used for the UEFI dual-boot, with LL installed as root. The other is 1TB and is used solely for shared data storage.

Evidence for the problem being due to SSD rather than related to UEFI:
(1) when the Win8.1/LL2.8 dual-boot is set up on an HDD, instead of a SSD, the hanging issue at boot-up does not occur.
(2) when this dual-boot is set up on an SSD (MBR partition table) in Legacy (CSM) mode, I've found the hanging problem to still persist. 

In light of these observations, I have edited Section F (problem 3) accordingly.
Hope this is helpful

rather than one related to UEFI mode, for the Win/LL set-up described in post #1
Through experimentation I have found this issue occurs
