I have Windows 8.1 and I've been itching to try the latest Ubuntu, but I don't think I can do it. Depends on what you have. In my Toshiba laptop it was a pain in the rear end because the boot order seems to be hardcoded. I renamed bootmgfw.efi (the file that starts Windows) to bootmgfw2.efi and then renamed the grub .efi file (can't remember the name) to bootmgfw.efi and pointed the windows entry in grub.cfg to bootmgfw2.efi to avoid grub relaunching itself when selecting the Windows entry. In short, it's a piece of poo poo. Maybe there's a more elegant way but I really needed the computer for things other than tinkering with it, so I did the first thing that came to mind.
