Windows 10 & Fedora 25


Windows 10 (pre-installed)

1> Got a blank screen ... decided to bypass configuration of feature like cortana
      to get the real screen.
2> 


Fedora 25 on new Dell Notebook Insprion 14 7000 series.

1> No CD/DVD drive.

2> Downloaded fedora 25 workstation .iso image from fedora site after comparing both Fedora and Ubuntu for a while.

Decided to go with Fedora as in company I have to rely on OEL.

3> Too many recovery partitions on the pre-installed notebok. Finally, got 400 GB unallocated.

4> Tried different tools to burn .iso image to bootable usb stick.

      fedora media writer : didn't detect the usb stick.
      lili (live linux) : image didn't boot (supported only till fedora 22 workstation)
      rufus : did the trick for me

5> F12 gives boot options: boot from usb or windows 10 from EFI boot partition

6>  Scanner : Got it working through 'simple scan' (yum install sane-*)

7>
