UEFI Build?

[gold_finger]

I don't know whether a UEFI build is in the future for LL or not.  The immediate future, probably not.  Somewhere down the line, who knows?  (EDIT:  Just saw Jerry's answer on your poll -- no UEFI, period.)


You've got a few options:

• If you don't plan to dual-boot with Windows 10, then you can simply wipe it out and change the boot mode of the computer to Legacy/CSM and install LL as you normally would to any non-UEFI computer.  (Works same way as installing to an older BIOS-based computer.)
  

OR, if you do plan on dual-booting with Windows:

• You could re-install Windows in Legacy/CSM mode, then install LL in that mode too.  That would be time consuming but is an option if you insist on using LL.  (If you didn't know, you can download a legal copy of the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft and make an install USB out of it.)
  
• Keep Windows in UEFI mode, but install LL in Legacy mode.  You'll need to go into UEFI settings and change the boot mode to boot into one or the other.  If booting in UEFI mode, it will boot Windows; in Legacy mode, it will boot LL.  If you want to attempt this let us know beforehand so we can give specific instructions to accomplish that.  It's not too hard, but partitioning is slightly different.
  
• Follow this tutorial in combination with the video to do a UEFI install of LL.  Yes, it's a bit convoluted and isn't the easiest to follow, but it can be done.  I'd highly recommend using something like Macrium Reflect to fully image your Windows install and create a rescue disk first before attempting the UEFI procedure for LL.
  
• Switch to another distro that supports UEFI booting.  Linux Mint Xfce is very similar to LL and is also beginner friendly for Windows users.  There are plenty of others too, like Xubuntu, Vector, Voyager, etc.  You could do a search on Distrowatch for Xfce-based distros for more.
