I've just order a new HP Envy 15T Quad Edition Notebook. It comes with Windows 8 and I want to install Kubuntu but I want to keep Windows too. I've seen some comments about UEFI. How can I tell if my computer has UEFI? Do I need to do something different to install Kubuntu on the computer if it does have UEFI?

you will need to disable secure boot and possibly enable "legacy boot" look in your uefi/bios menu. (press f10 or f9 or f2 or delete while booting before the os loads to enter that menu)Mark Your Solved Issues [SOLVED]

Yes, you have UEFI. All modern hardware is built with this firmware. BIOS is dead.Originally posted by ejazzkatt View Post
To install Kubuntu, see my knowledge base article Dual-booting Kubuntu on a Windows machine. Please read the note in post #1 that guides you how to start when you're installing Kubuntu on a machine that already contains Windows.Comment
