    rEFInd with dualboot Win8 - Win10 and Linux


    Does anyone know how to get rEFInd to recognise Windows 10?
    Currently it just ignores Windows 10 and boots in Windows. Halfway into the Windows booting, an MS screen (blue) appears asking me to choose between two different Windows 8.1 installations. One of them is in fact the Windows 10. I want to choose from the rEFInd menu at bootup.
    Any idea how to achieve this?

    :)

  3. Bluetooth and dualboot with Linux

    I have a common web-developer setup: dualboot of Linux (Arch) for work and Windows for entertainment. And I have bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser HD1 Wireless), that can bee connected to two devices. But there is a problem.

    If I pair my headphones on windows, they are not recognized anymore on the linux. If I "unpair" them on linux and reboot into windows, it's not being recognize on windows anymore (so I have to unpair again and re-find the device again). I have been doing
    that for 6 months and it has become .. emm ... mildly infuriating.

    It feels like I have each OS using the same bluetooth "device id" but using a different "secret" for connection.

    So, I have to options:

    • change the device ID in one operating system (same way as MAC addresses for network adapters)
    • make sure that both OSes use the same "secret"
    Is one of these options available on Windows (what I have a legal 10 Home version ... or non-professional version)? Or should I try to fix this on the Linux side? Are there any tutorials for this you can link me to? Or some google keywords?

    Buying second pair of headphones is NOT a good option.

    Yeah well it seems like updates the bootloader to realise it has two different instances of Windows running. So you boot to "Windows" and then you get to choose Windows 8 or Windows 10. I had it recognising different installations on rEFInds actual screen previously but if I muck around with it any more now, I'll probably break it. It can recognise Windows, Linux and Mac - which is what I wanted.

    The solution to this is to get a tool called EasyUEFI and then Visual BCD.
    In EasyUEFI you create a new Boot entry called Refind. Point it to the main .efi file that comes with Refind (inside the refind directory). Push it to the top of the boot device liest.
