yeah, I understand the M$ first issue, I was asking about installing
fedora dual-boot with W8.1 then upgrading windows, or upgrading windows
first THEN installing fedora.. to avoid that secure boot issue..

I use a program called boot repair:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/

any time I screw up my grub, I just pop in this CD, and it makes a new
grub menu for me:)

every time I try to do it myself with a live CD, it doesn't seem to work
right.
