Windows 10 dual booting with Linux on one drive
*Chose one that Linux does it all *
or,
* something else *
where you have to manually set it up yourself.
Are they both as good as each other?
I did everything this guy did in the video.But it did not work ,it went into Linux i could not get into Windows. 😯
my Windows is MBR which he is doing it for.I did all he did and the same settings
/boot 250.
/Root. 20480.
Swap area 8192 end of space
Home end of the drive the amount left .
I did it 100gb the same as him so i could do exactly the way he done it
It did mention about EFI boot when i went install it.
Rufus (for Windows) v Etcher which one is the better one ?
And do you agree with all he is saying ?
I take it i must have wiped out Windows boot. loader It is a lot to take in for me :rolleyes:And why don,t they use GB,s rather than MB,s?
It would make it much easier to do, than having to convert Mb,s to GB,s
These are the details of my drive
System Reseved 50mb NTFS
C DRIVE. 232.35gb
Recovery Partition. 499mb

I have done it the easy way where mint does it for you Windows10 and Mint on one drive.
I would like to use a second drive with another distro on it.I don,t see any one on YouTube doing it with a dual boot on one drive and a second drive one distro on it.
Do i have to load grub on it like in this video?
The other two give me a choice how would i add the third one to the menu for booting in?
I suppose i have to update grub like he does in the video.
