Installing win8.1 with UEFI boot

Preface: A period of time to buy an SSD, in the SSD re-installed win8.1, and then toss a double system, began to see a lot of others on the Internet tutorial, I feel some tutorials are more cumbersome, summed up here to summarize their own experience.

The basic configuration of the author's notebook: HP2318TX, pre-installed is the WIN8 Chinese version.

Preparation: First look at your computer BIOS support does not support UEFI mode, generally nearly one or two of the annual production of computers are supported. Prepare a U disk (do boot disk, 8g should be enough), the Old Peaches U disk Startup Disk Maker (Uefi version, other tools also line). Genuine system image one (preferably 64-bit, the author is win8.1 Professional version of the X64).

Explanation: The author of the computer installation has two modes can choose, one is legacy, this need to shut down the security mode, there is a uefi mode, (originally the author through the legacy mode installed, but in which mode, there is a problem, so there is a re-toss, toss the UEFI mode)

Specific steps: First, we make a boot disk from the old Peaches tool, and then extract all the files inside the system image into the system tray. (The BIOS will automatically recognize the UEFI boot entry)

Then, enter the BIOS to set the startup item, HP is F10, set the USB drive as the first boot item.

Then, into the PE system, the hard disk format into GPT format, (UEFI boot to match GPT format), the default may be MBR format, can also be converted through the Diskgenius tool, (stole a few pictures of others), this is the conversion process, can also be directly repartitioning, You will then be prompted to create the ESP and MSR partitions, which are also necessary.

After we have a good section, we can restart the installation system directly. (The stolen figure)

We've got the area in front of us, so we'll just have to choose it right here.

Here we want to choose a custom installation method:

Here the system is installed almost, there are some of their own custom settings, and then restart can be used.

I also installed a unbuntu14.04 version, Unbuntu also support uefi boot, and this step is similar, you can install dual system ~ ~
