Dual-boot Ubuntu 14.04 - Win8.1 (Can't boot Windows when UEFI mode is turned on)


I'm trying to install Ubuntu as a second OS, but I'm stuck at the turn off secure boot step.


I've found out that to disable secure boot I need to switch from Legacy mode to UEFI mode. But I can't start Windows when UEFI mode is turned on. That means I need to go back to Legacy mode which doesn't have an option to turn off secure boot. I'm confused.


How should I proceed?



Don't do anything: apparently your Windows isn't installed in UEFI mode.


(This is the first time on this site I've told someone to not do anything!)
