First thing i do is disable bitlocker. Its PITA when dualbooting too
- Is it? I just select Windows in the UEFI popup and Bitlocker unlocks fine. It's only a problem if you're trying to chainload through GRUB or whatever, and even then you only need to enter the recovery key once and Windows won't throw an error again (unless you decide to boot through the UEFI firmware, because the TPM measurements change).
  
  I guess if you're still stuck running some old MBR based OS you'll run into more issues, but dual booting has never caused Bitlocker issues for me.
