If you don't see an answer forthcoming on this list, search a bit, e.g., try googling uefi dual boot ubuntu windows 10. <div class="gmail_quote">On January 5, 2016 10:56:46 AM EST, Lee Gold <leegold@operamail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <pre class="k9mail">Hi, Just tried to dual boot windows 10 and Xubuntu on HP Pavillion 15 laptop. So I'm a bit behind the times - there's a new bios system, something called UEFI and this laptop along with Windows 10 seems to do everything to prevent being extensible and more useful by preventing a dual boot. Tried everything I could to make it work. So it's goodbye to Windows forever on this laptop - it's going to be ALL Xubuntu ! </pre></blockquote></div> -- /Roger</body></html>
