I have Win 7 and Linux Mint installed both on Legacy BIOS and they work great, but I wanna upgrade to Win 8 on UEFI (my laptop came with Win 8 pre installed and I removed it and installed 7) mostly because I think its time to move on to another system and not to mention that I get my free Windows 10 upgrade to UEFI, but this is where it gets tricky.
I have no other way to install Win 8 on my laptop besides using a downloaded Windows 8 iso image but the thing is, it only boots from Legacy BIOS, I tried booting from UEFI and it boots but shortly after it gives me the ''winload.efi'' problem and doesn't let me do a god damn thing from there.
I used Rufus to format my pen drive to FAT32 in GPT and even so it gave me the same error, to be honest I don't know what else to do, installing Windows 8 on UEFI has been more complicated than using Linux Mint for the first time
Oh BTW the Windows 8 image I'm using is an All-In-One image but I don't know if that counts for anything since I downloaded Windows image, Windows 8.1 AIO and even that didn't work
