Windows 7 hast 2 partition, one is hidden made for booting and having the
privative license control.
Windows 8 has more. As I see, you installed the GNU/linux bootloader in the
wrong partition.
In
Trisquel GNU/Linux you can automate the process of reinstalling all
your programs pretty easily(compared to windows): apt-get install

Maybe you should educate yourself on what Free
Software is before you actually permanently install a Freedom

Tell me about your degree in computers. You have one, yet you are unable to
do something as basic as installing gnu/linux. I have no computer degree, and
I can use trisquel fine. I started using ubuntu in 2011, and earlier this
year changed to using free software only.

computer problems)...
One should always make backups of one's files, everytime one installs a new

I had the same challenges as masipay when I started using GNU-Linux. I feel
the same as Fernando; it wasn't always easy but I'm glad that I kept trying.
Documentation is so much better today than it was even just eight years ago.
Especially because Ubuntu has become so popular.

Please, he is a new user. We can explain with calm the issues and try to

Here's what you need:
1. You need to disable UEFI whitelisting or enable legacy mode. I don't
know much about this step, and I suspect others here are in the same
position, as this is only specific to recent UEFI computers.
2. GRUB is best installed in the Master Boot Record.
3. If you want to
Let's not be so harsh with new users. I remember when I started using
GNU/Linux, I switched back to Windows several times before I finally stuck
with it.
I know that many of us, myself included, take pride in the operating system
we use, so things like Linux [sic] sucks may seem like
I do appreciate for your response, but surprisingly none of you actually came
up with solution on how to get rid of Grubs.
Part of the reason I tried Trisquel was because of Stallman and his
principle, which I recently happened to watch on a video. I decided to remove
Trisquel because WiFi
I have a similar setup. (Yes, what now...)
I usually boot into Trisquel in legacy mode, and when I need to use Windows I
switch into UEFI mode. I've tried to get Trisquel to boot in UEFI mode by
default, but most UEFI implementations these days are crap and only useful
for booting Windows.

Putting aside all, so what is the solution? How to fix my MBR?
Installation of an OS will override the MBR, unless you tell it
otherwise. AFAIK the Trisquel installation asks you if you want to
install GRUB. You will need to override GRUB with the Windows 8.1

I do not have Windows 8 and many users here likely do not have it either,
however you may find this of help:
You should be able to do this via the Trisquel Live CD.
Go to Trisquel Accessories Terminal
Install efibootmgr by typing:

This is not good my friend, I will try though.
I am starting to believe what most people say, Linux sucks.
Distribution like these popular systems at least should come with clean
install and clean uninstall/removal.
Making a mess in boot loader is pretty serious issue and I hope you Trisquel
