If possible -can some provide guidance on the following :
1. To install Kali on a separate partition on the same hard disk as Windows 8.1, should the UEFI be disabled ?.
2. Do i have to use Grub 2 or other bootloader.
3. Any other considerations - as i am a complete novice in this aspect ?.
Thanks and regards,
