Trisquel on Baytrail based PC-s

Hi
I have Ainol mini PC with intel z3735f based CPU
I have trying to install Ubuntu based distros(Not trisquel so far)on Micro SD cards by adding 32bit grub in boot section on the USB3.0 flash drive.
Goal was to create dualboot environment(eMMC for windows and Micro SD card for ubuntu based distro) .
As someone who didn't used windows since XP i decided to buy one of these PC-s because Windows 8.1 is last OS that will not be able to penetrate personal data as Windows 10 can(by license at least) .
As windows 8.1 with bing and firmware provided so i can rollback anytime was a pretty good deal,also hearing that BIOS have a lot of features was a good deal too ,however there are some catch in this.
64bit CPU on 32bit UEFI with 64bit OS.
No legacy boot option inside.
So far i had success to access OS but wifi wasnt visible and Setup was extremely slow and always breaks.
Any ideas what can i do????
This forum is about Trisquel. I have not quite got your 64-on-32-on-64-bit story but Trisquel's installer should do the right thing. There is a high probability that the Wifi will not work. You can use Ethernet or to waste a USB port to plug a Wifi adapter from http://libre.thinkpenguin.com or http://tehnoetic.com (the only stores where you can be sure the sold hardware will properly work with Linux-libre, hence Trisquel).
"because Windows 8.1 is last OS that will not be able to penetrate personal data as Windows 10 can(by license at least) ."
correct me if i am wrong but i think Micro$oft updated there privacy policy for windows 8, 7 and 10 so they were all the same
remember reading this somewhere
micro$oft can spy on you with window$ 95 as they control the source code it may be that only now they can do it legally though
if your concerned about giving away your private data i would not use window$ 8 XD
out of interest why do you use win8?
"So far i had success to access OS but wifi wasnt visible and Setup was extremely slow and always breaks."
i would guess this is due to a lack of free drivers
you may need to get a external wifi card for this laptop or replace the internal one:

How can anyone be sure if a proprietary OS or application is not malicious?
You have absolutely no control over it and you can not possibly know if it is malicious software - you can not read the code. You can trust proprietary software only by blind faith.. I like RMS' definition: computing for suckers :)
Hi again
Just wanted to make an update
I found out that some new chipset is included in Linux kernel 4.2 and some independent distros were there based on RedHat for Baytrail systems.
We should expect full support(or at least at some extent)in Ubuntu 15.10 and other upcoming distros releases.

PS:
Windows is only there for porting my games to that platform,i dont really have any intention of using it longer than it needs for project/game to be compiled and tested!
