[Questions! New Laptop with UEFI Mode] Multiboot Windows 8.1 & Linux Mint 16?


Recommended Posts

Hello!

If it is in the wrong section, please move it.

 

I have a new laptop (Toshiba L850-1MK PSKG8E) and in it's BIOS it has a setting called "Boot Mode" with the options: UEFI Boot and CSM Boot and there is also the Secure Boot setting.

 

and I would like to know:

1) What are the differences between UEFI boot and CSM Boot?

I know these options have to do with Windows 8.1 Security

 

2) Can I use UEFI boot and multiboot Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint 16 Petra?

3) Is it better using CSM boot or UEFI mode for Windows 8.1?

4) Which is better MBR or GPT?

 

 

Thanks a lot
