This has suddenly started happening
I have a new Dell XPS 8900 which has had our corporate Windows 10 image
installed. I want to dual boot with Xubuntu 15.10 64-bit which I burnt
to a USB stick with unetbootin (which I have used to install a different
machine, so I know the USB stick works OK).
The BIOS is unlocked, so when I power
hanks. Windows 10? I saw dire warnings against doing
exactly that.
I might try that, on the basis that if it breaks, nothing of value will
be lost :-)
