Easy Bcd Install Ubuntu Alongside

I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8 OS.

Thats the workaround I followed to install in UEFI mode: askubuntu.comquestions519610 ceers.

But still, depending on the version you are using and the hardwaremodel you have, you might need all or some of the steps provided in this answer.

If you are reading this in August 2017, I can say that with Ubuntu 17.04 I have installed it on over 40 Laptops with UEFI, ranging from Lenovo, Dell, HP, Sony, Acer and Toshiba where the models were 2016 and Up, and I have had no issues at all installing Ubuntu by simply following the steps in the installer.

Am just mentioning that I am impressed by the fact that out of 43 total Laptops, 43 did not have any issues whatsoever on my end.

Still, if you do have an issue, this is the reason why this guide was created.

If you have a pre-installed Windows 8 system, you will probably never be able to install Ubuntu or any other OS in the normal (LiveCDLiveUSB) or Wubi way.

This is because Windows 8 introduced several new features, of which 2 are.

This is no longer the case for Ubuntu since 12.04.2 so there is no need to disable secure boot.

Ubuntu supports this feature starting with 12.10 64 bit ( see this article ) and 12.04.2 64 bit, but as PCs implementing support for it have only become widespread at the end of 2012 it is not yet widely tested, so its possible that you may encounter problems booting Ubuntu under Secure Boot.

Of 12 Laptops ( 4 Toshibas, 3 HP 5 Lenovo) where Windows 8.1 was pre-installed, on all cases, Ubuntu detected the Windows Boot Manager correctly, gave the option to install alongside Windows 8.1 (It actually said Install alongside Windows Boot Manager) and solved any issues that appeared on previous Ubuntu versions.

This was with Secure Boot on and on an EFI enabled boot system.

I also. Tested 4 Windows 10 PCs and it worked perfectly with 15.10 16.04.

Again, with 15.04 (Also on 15.10 and 16.04.

On all cases it was 64-bit).

I even had talks with users like Marius Nestor from Softpedia who actually had to disable Secure Boot in order for the installation to work, so it should be noted that, even if I currently have an excellent experience with Secure Boot, you might not.

I would in any case, send the bug report to the provided link above.

Apart from this, WUBI does not work from within Windows 8 and up if you have UEFI with a GPT Partition (Not MS-DOS type partition).

Pleas read Does UEFI support mean Wubi will now work on laptops shipped with Windows 8 for more information.

You need the 64 bit version for everything to work correctly.

If a step is skipped or done before another, you will most likely end up with some of the problems mentioned at the bottom of this guide.

Inside it is impossible because it needs Wubi which is unsupported.

Shutdown Windows 8 in the normal way, with the shutdown option.

This will prevent other problems related to this from appearing.
