Steam OS dual boot

I unzipped the file to a formatted 8GB  drive, and attempted to boot from it. I set the boot priority to USB first, and then my boot drive. It states that it requires UEFI to boot. Is that not automatic with modern mainboards? Also, do I need to do anything with my GPU?

DUDE. I DIDN'T DO THAT.

 

Some times I wonder why I'm capable of passing the Comptia A+ test.

more stuff if that doesn't work (seems to be OS specific, WTF)

I know how to do that, but thanks. I love Ubuntu. Canonical knows how to make an OS look pretty.

then why are you having trouble booting?  I am confuz...

No, i just meant I know how to do Linux USB installs. I've tried Ubuntu, so I'm saying that I've already gone through the process and just need to replicate it with Steam OS.

ah ok
