User story specs:

how to install fedora/linux - 2 main scenarios

clean installation
dual-boot installation on a machine with an existing OS
(optional) linux in a container/virtual machine (the "I cannot reinstall my machine but want to work in linux" use case)
MilaNavratil commented 7 years ago

For the installation User Story, the following two articles might come in handy: -- Fedora 25 Workstation Installation Guide -- Tecmint: https://www.tecmint.com/fedora-25-installation-guide/ -- Dual-boot Fedora 25, Windows 10 on a computer with UEFI firmware: http://linuxbsdos.com/2016/12/01/dual-boot-fedora-25-windows-10-on-a-computer-with-uefi-firmware/

I think the user story should at least mention the possibility of using a virtual machine or a live image. On a Windows machine, our recommendation should probably be the Oracle VM VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ I'll investigate further.
