Laptop HP Pavilion 14 (what HP calls a "sleekbook"), dualbooting oS 13.1 64-bit KDE4.11 and W8.
Today I had to connect to the internet to access a site that would not work with FF on oS 13.1. The dumb site works in IE, however :(. I then got a notice that W8.1 free upgrade was available in their store. It was quite difficult to leave the notice without installing it, most annoying.
Anyway, in Yast bootloader module it says it's using grub2-efi. /boot/efi resides in sda2 260 MB partition. That's the windows boot manager that grub2 chainloads to, IINM. I don't know were grub2 is installed, things are a bit (lot) different from grub...
My question is: If I allow the upgrade to W8.1, will it break the boot menu/grub2 (like, perhaps, booting directly into windows)? If so, what measures should I take to prevent or fix it?
Thanks,
Bruno
