I believe we've addressed the crashes in installer with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1803031 This reverts part of the original changes, to catch cases where an ESP isn't present and the system in booting in UEFI mode: rather than crashing, there will be

Ok, Debian 9 works out-of-box - it detects Win 10 as Win Vista during install and Grub is successfully installed with working dual-boot. It took one try and about 1 hour (Nvidia install included). The link is https://www.debian.org/distrib/ I used 64-bit netinst iso. -- You received this bug
