I would go with Michael's idea. I use Virtualbox to play M$ 7, and
it <i>boots far, far faster</i> than a stand alone M$ machine. <br>

You should be able to get ubuntu working with secureboot, but
I've never done a dual boot personally. Make sure you look at
it from the UEFI perspective. As Stephen also indicted, you can
set to boot in "legacy mode" too, but that will break windoze
ability to secureboot.<br>

Thank microsoft and their for making cronie hardware oem's have
to protect their crappy os from infection (and replacement).

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent
you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the
snooze button.<br>
