| + | =Install 14.04 alongside Windows 8.1 in HP 15-g002ax (G8D84PA) laptop= |
| + | |
| + | Below instructions worked without any post-installation problems on HP 15-g002ax (G8D84PA) model laptop bought online by Nagappa, GHS Kandakur, Yadgir. But same instructions may not work on all Win 8 pre-installed machines of HP. |
| + | |
| + | Please follow below steps to successfully install Ubuntu 14.04 alongside pre-installed Windows 8.1 in HP 15-g002ax (G8D84PA) which has a APU Quad core processor, 4GB RAM and 1TB HDD. |

| + | |
| + | # Disable fast boot under PC Settings in Windows 8.1 |
| + | # Restart the machine and go to BIOS settings and disable secure boot |
| + | # Use plain 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 and start the installation |
| + | # Choose "Something else" option in "Installation type" step and create partitions for Root and swap manually. |
| + | # Finish the installation and reboot to see GRUB screen with Ubuntu and Windows 8 choices. |

| + | More info on installation can be found here -- [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI] |

| + | Please try to avoid buying machines with Windows 8 pre-installed since its very difficult to dual boot with Kalpavriksha and it denies you the freedom to install the software of your choice at the cost of your own money(DOS/Ubuntu machine costs 3-4k ₹ less than Win 8 machines). |
