Windows 10: Dual Boot

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has installed Fedora alongside Win 10 and how easy it actually is? I've done it before with Opensuse but I know yast don't play well with Windows. I've read that Fedora works great alongside Windows but I haven't tried to install it yet just thought I would get someone else's opinion before I continue forward with the install.*Wink

Thanks

Joe

Always booting from the wrong drive

Drive K is not a boot drive.

If dual booting Windows located on the drive K: it will be changed to C:

You have to do the dual boot from the BIOS.

Check post from Andre da Costa on Dual booting.

 

Boot Issues, Partitioning Errors, Backup, and Dual-Booting Windows 10

This was in fact a dual boot problem. All VM is dual boot.

 

As long as Fedora supports your hardware this should be a no-brainer. Just pay attention to where to install the boot loader (Grub). It has to got into the Windows EFI partition. And of course make sure not to overwrite any Windows partitions. Apart from this there should not be much trouble.

Oh and my recommendation is to disable secure boot. I think I've read somewhere that Fedora supports secure boot but you can eliminate a possible source of error if you disable it. In my opinion secure boot is useless anyways. But I'm pretty sure there are people who's opinion concerning the usefulness of secure boot differs from mine *Wink

 

Thanks I got installed lastnight with no problems *chuckle. I did make the mistake and didn't put the bootloader separate from windows but only took me 15 minutes to correct grub. Thanks for the help though *Wink

 

Good to hear you've been successful *Smile
