Hello everyone,
I have an older lap top (4 core processor with 2gb RAM) Running Windows 8.1 x64. A while back I tried to run Ubuntu from a live USB drive and when I wanted to go back to windows, I had booting issues (not sure what happened so no need to comment).
I think I followed this site
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install
And when I tried to reboot into windows, my computer could not find the windows OS that was on the hard drive.
So I want to try again, but want to make sure that I won't screw up my windows 8.1 x64 OS. Just want to see how Ubuntu runs on this lap top.
Can someone point me to a tutorial that would address this situation or anything special that I should consider with using Ubuntu with a computer that has UEFI Bios?
