Hi, I have purchased a new Laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed. I have managed to do (so far) - shrink the Windows partition (from within Windows since it's encrypted) - turned off secure boot to be able to boot a Linux rescue system from USB - created new partitions (boot, root and home)

If it's a similar laptop I assume you have grub2 installed in EFI mode. Check if you have grubx64.efi in your EFI partition (usually //EFI/gentoo/). Also check if you have efi boot entry for grub with efibootmgr utility. if grub-install with EFI target was used on a new system it should call
