UPDATE 9:
Just to say the upgrading from LL2.6 to 2.8 within the LL/Win8.1 UEFI dual-boot, proceeded flawlessly (12 February 2016) and took less than 10 minutes to complete.
UEFI continues to work very well. The only glitch that pops up now-and-then is 'problem 3' in 'section F' of the tutorial (hanging on start-up or shutdown), though this continues to be easily rectified by the procedure I outlined.
Many thanks Jerry, and the rest of the team for all your hard work.
Cheers
Mike
