Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I seem to find conflicting answers on other distro’s forums when googling, so here goes. Please be gentle

I run Windows 8.1 on a quadcore i5. There are two drives; an ssd entirely devoted to the Windows installation, and a 2tb storage drive that happens to have a partition on which I would like to install Antergos. Now, can I just simply go ahead with the installation and it will grant me the option to choose between the Windows installation and the Linux installation on boot, or do I need to go in the UEFI menu and fiddle with secure boot and such? The last part is where I get conflicting messages when googling and trying to make sure the installation is safe, and I don’t end up not being able to boot into my work environment, which would be bad.

Thanks for the patience, and hope someone can offer some insight.
