Installing Linux on an Acer System

Dual Booting in UEFI on Acer Systems

---

Hey guys, writing after a long time....
The method to Dual Boot Linux (Kali Linux 2016.2) alongside Windows 10 which I gave works on most of the systems available

1. HP -- one of the most compatible
2. ASUS

, but probably NOT ON ACER && DELL.

---

If you are able to run it on any such machines, do tell me in the comments, and if not, I'm writing the method to dual boot on an Acer laptop.
So, let's start ...

---

Keep in mind that I'm giving the method to Dual-Boot on ACER Systems, in UEFI boot mode

---

Prerequisites

1. A bootable USB, with the linux live distro of whichever you like, but only in UEFI Mode

Now,

1. Turn off your System
2. Power on System, and boot it up using the bootable USB
3. Follow the method I gave in my other posts, of how to install the linux,

   Though I made it for Kali
   but, the procedure is more or less the same for most of Debian based ditros,
   Fedora & REHL based linux are little bit different

4. Now, restart the system, but carefully,...
5. Press the key

   F2

   as soon as your system reboots,
6. You should enter the Boot Menu of your laptop

7. Now use your Right arrow key to go to the third page ie -- Security
   
8. First of all you need to set the Supervisor Password -- set it.
9. Now go to the Secure Boot Options ---
   

   Selecting an UEFI File as trusted for executing
   
   

10. Press Enter ---
    Select your Hard Disk Drive
    Goto the folder named

    EFI

11. Now, there should be a folder with the name of Ubuntu (or Kali or Debian or whatever Linux you've installed)
12. Press Enter ---
    There must be a file with the name of

    grubx64.efi

13. Select that file ---
    It'll now ask you to enter the Name and save it
14. Do this and exit
15. Now go to the fourth page

    Boot
    
    

16. Disable Secure Boot
17. Now restart

First of all boot into Windows, and see that everything is going on well.
Now restart, and press the key

F12

You should be able to see the UEFI Boot entry of your linux installation.
