I am looking to Dual Boot Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows 8. I bought this computer a few months back and would like to try Ubuntu and am having a issue with Secure Boot and UEFI enabled on Windows. Is there a effective way to install Ubuntu 13.10?

Hi xClone84!

Have you thought of using a virtual machine? This is a program that runs in Windows, and allows you to run different OS's in the one environment. They can be run in a window or full screen.

I personally use the excellent VMware Player. It creates a folder on your machine that is a virtual hard drive. You can even move the hard drive to a different PC if desired.

If you check out the VMware website you will find plenty of info on how to get started.

"Virtual Machine" was not the question ....

I've checked that, and was already running it but would like to run Ubuntu natively
