Hi. Ok, I have two choices. I could buy a msi gt72s with the latest core i7 6:th generation with ddr4 memory. and I could buy an msi gt72 with an older processor. a core i7 4:th generation. the newer has win 10 preinstalled, and the older win 8.1 I'll remove win 8 and upgrade to ten and then install linux. I will never run win 8. what do you think I shall choose? I can't decide. could you help me with this? I've heard that there can be problem running linux on the new processors tool. /Kristoffer 2016-04-18 4:09 GMT+02:00, Christopher Chaltain <chaltain@xxxxxxxxx>: > I haven't installed and booted Ubuntu on a UEFI system myself, but like > I said, from what I've read, it can be done.
