apparently win. 8 is faster then win. 7 because of a new kernel, okay i guess win. 8 is for me.
ive tried windows 8 and it feels pretty fast and slick so yeah

Try going to your bios and disabling secure boot, and then paste this into your /etc/grub.d/40_custom file:

Code: [Select]
menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" { insmod part_gpt insmod chain set root='(hd0,gpt2)' chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi }

then run grub-update in the terminal


I never understood why this happens because I have secure boot and uefi and I have grub(Linux mint and windows 8.1) running without any issues.

It's simple, really.

Don't use Ubuntu.
install windows 7
You are both pricks. Never speak to me again, please.

This thread can be locked now. I used an application called Boot Repair and it added a Windows 8 UEFI loader to grub.
post-lock edit: thanks to the rest of yall for helping me. afaik boot repair did exactly what pacnet suggested
