  • Bought in 2013 &dmash; See New PC - 2013 for selection page
  • Default OS: Win 8 64

  • RAM: 8GB

References

  • Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8: Detailed blog entry, detailed answer on askubuntu.
    Suggestions:
    • Turn off fast startup
      If fast startup is turned on, Windows keeps a snapshot of the system when it boots up, which gets corrupted or lost when installing Ubuntu
      Option is available via Control Panel → Power Options → Choose what the power button does → click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" !
    • Disable secure boot
      Although Ubuntu is compatible with secure boot, secure boot is still the part that creates most dual boot issues.
    • Disable UEFI Boot
      Also called enable CSM boot (CSM means Compatibility Support Module). This restores the old usual boots, but requires GRUB to boot Windows 8
      Q? Will recovery via F9 continue to work?
  • Info on UEFI
  • Access to BIOS might be disabled if PC boots Windows 8 in Secure Boot mode.
    To access BIOS, go to Windows 8 power off options, and click Restart while holding SHIFT. Then, select Troubleshoot, and UEFI Firmware Settings.
  • ASUS Recovery — press F9 at boot to go to recovery console, and restore from RECOVERY partition.
    If the image is not found, start a command prompt:
