Install 64-bit Kubuntu on 32-bit UEFI system

Solution 1:

I've got a system very similar to your specifications. So here is what you've to follow,

  1. Make a Easy to boot drive......with agFM files for UEFI32 booting, You can find out more about this on their website.
  2. Download Kubuntu AMD64 and copy it over to the USB stick (USB DRIVE/_ISO/Linux)
  3. Download GRUB2WIN and install it to your EFI system partition
  4. Boot into your Kubuntu using the Easy to boot drive you've created earlier
  5. Install it along side windows (Dual boot)....The installation will fail, but reboot
  6. Boot back to Windows and Create a UEFI entry using GRUB2WIN and you can do all kinds of customizations there
  7. Boot back to Linux and wipe out the WINDOWS partition
  8. Use Gparted live to merge the windows portion to the Linux partition
  9. You can remove windows UEFI entry, set grub timeout to 0, and set Kubuntu to default in Step 6 (in GRUB2WIN)
  10. You've successfully installed KUBUNTU on UEFI32
