Does this topic of yours infer that LL2.6 64-bit is not UEFI enabled for either Live or Installed use and that another UEFI enabled distribution needs to be used to enable LL2.6 64-bit to be used in UEFI mode?
I'm a bit confused by the rest of your post as it's a bit off topic. The aim of the present tutorial was to provide more detailed instructions, to accompany Nehal J Wani's original YouTube video, which showed how to set-up a LL 2.0 / Windows 8.1 UEFI enabled dual-boot. If you want to discuss setting up other distros, using either UEFI or Legacy, may I suggest you begin a new discussion thread on this. It would probably be more productive for you discussing this elewhere on the LL forum...

At present, I'm working on one or two other updates to the tutorial, i.e: 1. How to edit the grub screen to change the listed OS name from *Ubuntu to Linux Lite 2. What to do if your grub screen disappears at startup and boots straight into win8.1. - this happened to me following temporary removal of the UEFI dual-boot HDD from the laptop, working with another HDD for a short time, and then subsequently putting back the original UEFI dual-boot HDD into the laptop. Perplexing to say the least...
Hello Mike perhaphs if you use the code tags it would make a difference.
