Has any one installed windows 10 and Linux on their computer with uefi
My searches on the internet generally pick up videos of old computers with bios instead of uefi. >From what I can find, I need to have secure boot disabled - think mine is but might have read it wrong. Got Linux install on usb stick and ran it but on reboot installs into windows 10 and trying easybcd says it doesn't support with message "EasyBCD has detected that your machine is currently booting in EFI mode. Due to limitations set by Microsoft, many of EasyBCDs multi-booting features cannot be used in EFI mode and have been disabled. Pressing the "help key" gave me three options (reinstall, VMware, and below) OPTION 3: USE GRUB2 EFI AS YOUR MAIN BOOT MANAGER EasyBCD controls the Windows boot menu, and has traditionally been used as the primary boot manager. With EasyBCD, it is possible to add entries for Linux and older versions of Windows to the top-level BCD menu seen when your machine first boots. Since the Windows boot manager running in UEFI mode does not support the loading of legacy and non-Microsoft operating systems, another option is possible. When installing Linux or any other 3rd party OS that ships with its own bootloader, instead of choosing to install GRUB to the bootsector as is traditionally done when opting to use EasyBCD to control your boot menu, choose to install GRUB to the MBR (or disk, in this case) and make it the main bootloader for your PC. You can add the Windows boot menu to the GRUB2 EFI boot menu - in this case, you'll see GRUB's boot menu when your PC starts, and from there you can choose Windows. You can still use EasyBCD to control the Windows boot menu and set up multi-boots and re-configure Vista+ entries in the BCD boot menu, but with the GRUB2 EFI menu loading first, you can use that to boot into Linux and to chainload NTLDR to boot into Windows 9x. Question: Has any one tried this? Does this corrupt your windows 10 boot up? Past experience has told me in mbr days to never overwrite the windows boot loader, has the process gone the opposite way? thanks for any advice you can give.
