Windows 10: Is It Possible To Dual Boot Into Windows, Then Open Your Linux System As A Separate Tab...

Hello everyone,

I currently have a dual boot Windows/Linux laptop and much prefer to use the Windows OS. When I have my PC and laptop, I usually remote desktop to my laptop from my PC. This way, I'm still using Windows and I have a tab on my taskbar that I can expand or close my Linux system anytime.


However, when I don't have access to my PC, I'm wondering if this is still possible with just my laptop?


I'm able to remote desktop to my laptop using my pro surface tablet, but when I try to remote desktop to my laptop linux from the same laptop windows, it says that the connection is lost.

dual booting Windows and Linux

I was wondering if theres a way when dual booting Windows 7 and Linux Mint, to have it boot Windows by default and possibly not show the GRUB menu, and if I press a certain key, have it boot linux instead?

Is this even possible?

 

add linux dual boot to w10 system

First check to see if Windows supports dual-boot when one of the systems is not Windows. As best as I know it is not possible and I have tried to get the answer myself but that was a few years ago. As best as I know the only option is to use a Linux utility
to do the multi-booting.

If you did configure dual boot then how did you do that? If you are using a Linux/Ubuntu utility then you need to ask in a Linux/Ubuntu forum.

The suggestion to hold down the shift key while doing a shutdown might help but another option is to go into your system's BIOS while booting. The procedure varies depending on the BIOS but if you can get into the BIOS configuration then you can choose where
to boot from. Sometimes it can be a one-time choice but there should be a way to set the boot device priority so that it boots from whichever device/partition you select. That is
not a permanent solution but it will allow you a
slightly inconvenient way to switch where to boot from.

Also note that it is standard for a boot utility to boot whatever partition is marked active. There are Windows and Linux utilities to select which partition will be the boot partition.

 

Problem when dual windows 10 & kali linux

Hello.

I had dual booted my PC which came with preinstalled Windows 10. I had dual booted with kali linux by creating a partition on the disk. After install kali linux.. I see this message:

"Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device completions.

grub> _"

- Upon writing 'exit', I am able to enter Windows.

- i boot windows 10 and I go to command prompt to run bootrec.exe /fixmbr .. but it's not solve my problem.

I don't want to lose any data from windows

1. I wish to know the reason behind it and how it can be removed.
