Frugal install on new laptop (UEFI-BIOS trouble?)
Juanito:
google says the following:
--- Quote ---Follow steps below to access UEFI settings to disable legacy secure boot control in Windows 10, 8.1 and Windows 8. Note that the Secure Boot option must be set to "Disabled" or "Off" to allow you to boot from external media correctly.
Press Windows + I to open the settings charms. Click on Change PC settings at the bottom.
In Windows 8, go to General PC settings and select Advanced startup and then click on Restart now.
In Windows 8.1, go to Update and recovery from left sidebar. Then click Restart now under Advanced startup.
Now you will be presented with the Choose an option screen. Simply select Troubleshoot and then Advanced options in Troubleshoot.
In Advanced options menu, choose UEFI Firmware settings. Then click on Restart button to reboot your system in UEFI settings.
Now your PC have been booted into UEFI utility, move to boot on the top menu and here you can see the option to turn off secure boot in Windows 10. Use the arrow key to go to Secure Boot option and then press enter to select it. Use + or – to change its value.

Yes, I've seen all that, too.
But:
1) how come Ubuntu USB was shown as top-boot-option, but CorePlus64 wasn't?
2) I've read on the internet that Ubuntu (and Fedora) made a deal with MS, to exchange certain keys etc, so that new hardware would trust Ubuntu.
So perhaps I should rephrase my question:
Has anyone on this forum managed to do any non-Ubuntu Linux install on a new laptop which has that secure-boot built in; no dual-install, but removing Windows10 and just running Linux (non-Ubuntu, non-Fedora) on the machine?
coreplayer2:
AFAIK Secure Boot can be disabled within the BIOS to allow any OS install. Secure Boot was intended only for corporate clients. IIRC My motherboard has Secure Boot and was promptly disabled.
YoupMelon:
When I inspect the USB that has CorePure64 on it, I see a syslinux folder, but I don't see anything that looks like grub2, EFI or UEFI.
(In contrast, in the working Ubuntu-USB, folders with these names all over the place.)
Could it be that that is the problem?
Is there documentation that explains how EFI/UEFI/grub2 support can be added to a USB with TC on it?
