[opensuse] Install 13.2 in Windows 10
Today I got Windows 10 installed. What and how should I adjust in the BIOS to make install of openSUSE 13.2 possible? Thanks, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It should just install, no change necessary. However, you want to make sure Windows fast startup is disabled (or at least you do a shutdown from the advanced menu) to make sure the file system is consistent, if you plan on the opensuse installer shrinking the Windows volume to make room for opensuse. If you've already created free space, you can skip this. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In the 'old' BIOS I could change bootpriority to DVD. That I don't see in new BIOS. What to do? Thanks André den Oudsten

Yeah it's in there somewhere. It's just that in the glorious wisdom of firmware OEMs, they think it's a good idea to have different UIs instead of standardization. But see, they're stupid. So confusion is what we get. On a Dell with UEFI it was F2 or F3 to get into firmware setup, and I remember that figuring out the boot order there was less than obvious or pretty. But found that F12 key brought up a one-time boot menu that looked different and was fairly easy to figure out. So you're just going to have to stumble around to find it. It might be easier doing this with USB install media than DVD media. It's possible the firmware OEM imagines only bootable USB these days, so that might have a different behavior. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The F12 key worked. I could choose between Legagy and UEFI. Curiously the legacy way came with the traditional disk and choice for language, the UEFI way directly with the next step, so there was no choice for language!! All worked well.

*sigh* the OEMs are really bad at this. I really wish this legacy vs UEFI thing would just go away, but it surely should not appear in a one-time boot menu. Hopefully you were able to do a UEFI installation of openSUSE rather than a legacy one. Mixing legacy OS and UEFI OS installations just makes things messy and more confusing down the road.
