Hi John and thanks. I agree but I think after I install qubes then I will need to delay the grub screen in order to be able to choose either Win 10 or Qubes. And I think I have to somehow tell qubes to look for the windows drive and then allow to choose it... Anyway you're right, I think once I have them both loaded I hope to figure it out.
