You can switch to Tiny11 by removing the Windows partition and creating a new one for it. The grub entry doesn’t need updating unless you want to load Windows 11 specifically.

They seem to be configured together on the same storage device. Upgrading to Windows usually replaces the master boot record, meaning you’ll have to fix your Linux or GRUB setup afterward.

Both are installed on the same storage device. To resolve the GRUB setup issue, check the installation files and ensure they're correctly placed. Verify the bootloader configuration and reinstall GRUB if necessary.

Start from a USB with live files, prepare the Linux drive, and execute the instructions to refresh GRUB. Refer to the link provided for details.

If you remove the three partitions and place Tiny11 on the available space, booting into Windows should create a live USB. Then using the terminal, you can update the GRUB settings. Did you overlook any steps?

It would likely be simpler to set up a live USB first (using Linux), though the overall process remains similar.

I only have a single USB drive, so I’ll use it for the tiny11 installer. I’ll set up the live USB later.

You might convert the USB to a Ventoy device and run several ISO files from it.
