I was wondering if this is even possible?
I have a Lenovo Yoga 13 i7 with windows 8 64bit pro
I have looked at these articles so far.
http://docs.kali.org/installation/dual-boot-kali-with-windows
http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install
I'm not assuming this will work the same as it does for a windows 7 machine.
The questions I'm left with right now are.
What iso build of kali would I want to make a live usb of?
Also besides backing everything up, setting BIOS to to boot off of a USB, creating a live USB of kali, and repartitioning the hard drive to allow space for kali install. Are there any other procedures or precautions to consider?
I have not been able to find any information specifically relating to dual booting kali alongside windows 8 any other resources or insight would be greatly appreciated.
