I just finished setting up dual-boot for Linux Mint and Windows 10, and I noticed that now Windows isn’t booting properly when I start it up directly through the BIOS. I don’t know how important this is, since it does start with no issue through GRUB
I’m mostly wondering if this is normal
Honestly if it doesn’t work right through the bios but does grub, good. Windows likes to try and take over your computer sometimes when you turn it on.
Exactly! To me this is neither an issue nor problem.
imo dual booting is obsolete in most of cases, put windows in virtualbox and use it this way if you have such need
Thats an entirely different issue though. Unless you’re passing the hardware through to the VM, it can have big limitations as far as what you can do with the VM.
Both setups have their uses.
My PC isn’t powerful enough to do that well, I’ve got a mid to low-end PC (yes I have tried assigning more RAM and more CPU cores to it
have you tried windows 10 LTSB? it’s less bloated and takes less resources
Is the EFI entry available to boot into windows? Did you made a new, separate ESP for grub?
No, I don’t think so, the GRUB menu appears only when I boot from the Linux Mint drive
Sounds like a feature, not a bug.
