Dear friend, I have 54 years and was administrator since 8086 and M6800 and I am 100% sure that I don't have any of MS OS, just Arch based Antergos Linux distro.

However, my son bought Lenovo 17' laptop two months ago and experience similar problems with Win 8.1 and Xubuntu dual boot [just for the record].

# EDIT:
I cannot be sure that current SSD wasn't used with Windows, but if it was, and automagically left some records there....how it should erase Grub with FORCED - UNNEEDED uefi defaults loading!?
