  1. Is it possible to native boot a vhdx after dual booting linux?


    I want to install linux on a separate nvme and still boot natively to vhdx's that I will add to the windows boot manager with one normal windows on a separate nvme. Is this possible or does grub completely replace the windows boot manager altogether.

    :)

    Win 10.VHDX native boot....with linux as well?

    Wondering if this is at all possible. I use Hyper-V and am very impressed of the native boot performance, would it be at all possible to native boot a linux virtual drive.

    For example, in UEFI I have Windows 10 on my physical drive as option 1, and windows 10 on a virtual drive as option 2. Can I also have the 3rd option of linux as a VHDX?

  3. Win 10.VHDX native boot....with linux as well?

    Hi Shrine,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I suggest you to refer the articles Best Practices
    for running Linux on Hyper-V
    , Boot
    to a virtual hard disk: Add a VHDX or VHD to the boot menu
    , and
    Supported Linux and FreeBSD virtual
    machines for Hyper-V on Windows
    to check if you can add a second Virtual Hard Drive to install Linux.



    If you want more help on installing Linux on VHDX, then I suggest you to post your query in
    IT Pro TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge
    on Hyper-V and Virtual Hard Disks and they will help you with the exact information that you are looking for.

  4. Is it possible to native boot a vhdx after dual booting linux?

    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?
