I have an Acer laptop running Win 7 and dual booted with Linux Mint. The PC is starting to fall apart so I need to buy a new one.
Any new purchase will come with Win 10. I am aware that with the launch of Win 8 PCs BIOS was replaced with UEFI and I saw various discussions at the time on the web about its impact on installing Linux. I wrote to Acer tech support but their response was not helpful, it included "We do not support the Linux OS ........." Does the problem still exist? Can I be confident that if I disable the secure boot that both Win 10 and Linux will run?Are there any particular makes of laptop that should be avoided in the context.
