Dual Boot Windows 8.1 Professional Fedora 20

[Ger van Dijck]

There seem to be lots of problems with dual boot : I solved the problem as  
follows.

On a Dell inspiron laptop I did change the bootmode.

UEFI with Legacy Oprom
Secure boot Off
Bootlist option UEFI

Then I first installed Windows 8.1 Professional , then Fedora 20 .

Grub functionates perfect and probes on Fedora and displays bootloader  
Windows on /dev/sda1 and boots the desired
OS.

So whre is the problem?

I'm curious what happens if Secure Boot is enabled. That should work also, however I don't know if the chainload from GRUB to Windows works or is even expected to.
