If you have a UEFI laptop, and you want to just install LL only, then:
- in PC settings just disable secure boot & enable CMS/BIOS
- replace the GPT drive formatting with an MBR (MSDos) formatting (using gparted during LL installation)
If you do this you wont need UEFI at all. One of the issues with UEFI is that some firmware is not compatible with it. There are other issues too with UEFI where others, here in the forum, would be better placed to explain the ins-and-outs.
If you want to dual-boot Window OS with LL, then also follow the above suggestions so that you don't have to use UEFI/secure boot. However if you already have Windows OS on a UEFI laptop with UEFI & secure boot enabled, you'll have to reinstall it following reformatting with MBR.
