Dual Boot 14.04 and 8.1

[CrankyOldBugger]

I wonder if you can put Windows 8.1 on a bootable USB stick, and just use
it when you're at the printer...  hmmm...

There's some talk of setting up dual booting at
http://askubuntu.com/questions/451133/uefi-install-ubuntu-14-04-along-windows-8-dual-boot

I noticed in there that one person suggested to turn secure boot off.  So
maybe they fixed that issue in Ubuntu.
