So I'm super frustrated.
Ideally I want to get rid of my preloaded windows 8.1 and install fedora 20. I've seen plenty of threads discussing the problems but I thought since the newer fedora were licenced to be bootable with windows UEFI, it would work.
I have my live usb with fedora.
I reboot
I choose the usb as the boot device in the UEFI menu
screen goes blank as there is no signal, computer goes idle nothing, happens.
Thought maybe its just a lot of processing, left it for 6 hours, no response.
What am i doing wrong?
I don't even want UEFI or care about it, I'm happy to format the disk and hopefully the Bios will let me install fedora but i would like some clear instruction/direction because i don't want to be stuck with a piece of hardware for a couple of k that has no firmware and i can't do anything with.
Thanks,
Conor
