I want to ask if it is possible to install Windows 8.1 on a Ubuntu machine making it dual boot ?
If yes, please also tell the procedure.
If no, please tell any workaround for installing latest high end graphics windows games on Ubuntu machine. (They do not work in virtualbox and wine).
I searched very much on Internet but can not find any satisfactory solution. Please help.
Well..you got to create a partition for Windows (how much would you like? 100GB?) for that there are some tools you can use, but I like to do that on the Windows 8 installation.
Before you start it, I recommend you to make a backup of your files, just in case.
If you don't know how to do it: 1)Insert the CD/USB with the Windows installation files 2)Restart the computer (you might need to press f12 if it doesn't boot from cd and select it manually) 3)Follow the instructions and choose to administrate partitions 4)Create a partition where your ubuntu is installed (if you dint know which one is, it should be the bigger one ;) ) 5) Choose the size of the partition you want 6) There must now be a new partition called Unallocated Space. Thats where you are going to put it. 7) select it and click next 8) there you go! :D (I recommend you to use Custom installation if you don't know what are you going to do)
If something bad happens, don't worry. You can always try to install it again.
You may take a look at Article for Sane People and PlayOnLinux, although I only played League of Legends using the latter.
I don't have enough reputation to give three links in one answer, so I split my answer up.
Windows wipes out any and all bootloaders except for its own, so to dual boot you have reinstall grub yourself.
The easiest way bf doing so is using Boot Repair from Ubuntu Live CD/USB. If you have full Ubuntu installation CD/USB, it is "Try Ubuntu" option.
I did so myself and it worked.
