I had it set up grub when I did the install. Grub does not load. Windows 10 is the only boot option. In bios I only have the windows boot option or boot from cd-dvd drive as options. No option for booting to the debian installation.
I will keep trying to figure this out but the VM thing does sound like a better option. Can the VM access the partion that I have already installed to an run with it? I will keep poking around trying to figure this out.
