    Windows 10 fails to boot after installing Linux alongside the partition.


    After I installed Manjaro Linux alongside the Windows 10 partition on my C drive, I haven't been able to boot into Windows.

    For some odd reason, Windows is being listed in both sda1 and sdb1 which I have tried booting from.


    Instead of launching properly I get 1 of these three:

    • Vague BSOD
    • A loading screen telling me that it is fixing the issue, but nothing ever happens.
    • Repair options

    Here is what I've tried:

    • Installing Windows 10 on an USB using Rufus.
    • Running boot troubleshoot from both the main drive and the live USB.
    • Using the "Fix Windows from ISO file" option on the main drive and the USB. It fails to recognize the USB.


    Additional information:

    Latest version of Manjaro KDE Plasma derived from Arch Linux downloaded from the same USB mentioned before using the installer and the "Install alongside" option.

    :)

  2. Install windows alongside linux

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks for the answer, but it got me worried more. Windows 10 fails to boot after installing Linux alongside the partition. :(

    Since I bought the laptop as Windows 8.1, and then updated it to Windows 10 Home Single Language, will it be activated automatically if I install Windows 10 1909? I am getting no chance to choose language option in your linked site, and also the windows
    version is very different.

    Second, since there is this doubt of whether it'll be activated or not, I was thinking to go for the dual boot anyway. You warned about long run problems, and I actually faced those when I tried earlier to dual boot linux alongside Windows. However, I want
    to have a working operating system, so I don't want to override the Manjaro installation. Can you please suggest the steps to do a dual boot with Linux first and Windows later? I never did that before, and there are numerous questions online about possible
    bootloader problem afterwards.

    Thanks.

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    i dual boot all the time, and going in to tri boot is easy.

    step 1) partition the drive in to 3 partitions ( leaving 1 empty for the linux installer. )
    step 2) install windows on the first 2 partitions.
    step 3) install linux, and let it auto partition the remaining space. ( i recommend at least 30gb of space for linux, because it will make things a lot easier. )

    step 4) enjoy.

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    Yeah, but he's throwing OS X in there. Not quite as easy to do, but not all that hard. Manual configuration of GRUB is necessary.
