tell me if you need any more specs I cut bits off to shorten the amount of text to read, and probally left a heap of useless stuff

But I think the Bios is locked is that a problem?

Any links to tutorials or advice is needed please!

Because unless you just like tinkering with software for the sake of it, there is absolutely no reason to waste partitions and drive space.
