That should not be a problem. Windows 8 is okay with secure-boot on or off. I tried booting Live Tumbleweed, and the system kept booting Windows. Even though I had the USB device at the top of the boot list in the boot menu of the PC. I am making a new USB image. It was suggested

However, this puzzles me. A "new" lenovo laptop should come with Windows 10, or at least with Windows 8.1. So this laptop might not be so new.

It is 8.1. We did not want 10.0. In fact, the constant whining Windows is doing to update to 10 is a motivating factor for installing Linux. When my daughter was younger and used our home PC, she used Linux. GIMP and LibreOffice are tools she is familiar with.

My Lenovo ThinkServer would not boot opensuse with secure-boot enabled, when I first tried. It does now, after a firmware (BIOS) update.

Maybe I should see if there is similar upgrade for this laptop.

Check whether Windows actually shuts down. Some machines don't shut down, but rather hibernate. That would explain your issues IIRC. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
