The problem is that changing those settings now will break the existing
Windows install.

Hi
On a recent laptop, Asus X751L, I disabled secure boot. It didn't break
windows8 install (to keep warranty) at all.


Three laptops installed Fedora dual boot with UEFI and F21 and F23 without Windows.

All KDE from USB stick.
As the partition table has no Windows OS on it, why not just wipe the whole thing and start from scratch. Let the installer partition the drive as needed or manually partition.

Linux works great with GPT (had issues with a SSD though) on spinning disks. Used it on all newly formatted disks on all my machines. Use gdisk instead of fdisk.

Installed F23 KDE on a machine yesterday (twice) with no issues. Wiped all partitions and created all new partitions manually (hate LVM). Installed the second time due to no encryption the first time.

It was very fast as we didn't start till after supper.

Just make sure to create the EFI partition if you partition manually.
