Hi Everyone,
I have a Lenovo B590 Laptop with FreeDOS preinstalled.
I have Windows 8.1 Professional Full Version on DVD.
With the Firmware configured as follows, will installing Windows automatically format the Hard Disk Drive with a GPT (GUID Partition Table) and remove the FreeDOS which I don't need?
Firmware Configuration (UEFI)
UEFI/Legacy Boot: UEFI Only
CSM: Disabled
Boot Mode: Diagnostics (Deactivates Quick mode)
Secure Boot: Disabled
After I have installed Windows I also want to install Linux Mint 16 so that I can Dual Boot between the 2 Operating Systems.
Should I install any Windows Programs before I install Linux or should I wait until after Linux is installed?
Thank you, Michael.
