Windows 10: Mbr on USB stick?

Hello everybody!

It is about installing Kali Linux on a USB stick.

A normal dual boot with two partitions would have GRUB in the mbr of the Hdd.

I'm just not quite sure if if if I install Kali not on a second partition but on the USB stick, then GRUB in the mbr is the Hdd?

Or does the Kali installer automatically write the GRUB to the mbr of the stick?

In my opinion, the latter is true.

I haven't had anything in them for a while now. direction and now, after a discussion with a friend, I'm a bit confused

TIA

Greeting

Hi there
while that is the best suggestion I'm surprised at the boot of your rufus stick you don't see 2 options to boot -- that happens on my HP Envy laptop - 1 will boot OK normally while the other will probably error out with message "no OS found - insert Boot disk" or similar.

Anyway the easiest is the previous suggestion - use MCT.
