Setup both operating systems simultaneously (Windows and Linux).
Setup both operating systems simultaneously (Windows and Linux).
hello everyone, i’m facing a small issue here. i used windows for a long time and recently switched to linux. it seems there’s limited support for open source there. i chose to dual boot with windows but liked the desktop environment of linux mint. i want to put windows on the 1 tb hard drive while keeping my linux in the 240 gb ssd. i tried this setup once, but windows didn’t appear in the grub menu. could you suggest a better way to fix this? i’m not very tech-savvy, so any clear advice would be great!
Use your BIOS settings to choose the correct boot device for starting the desired operating system.
I found a great tool that simplifies switching. Let me know its name, and I can guide you there. I've used Linux for nearly 13 years now. Feel free to message me if you need help.
Typically it’s simpler to set up Windows first, after which you can install Linux. This approach allows Linux to recognize the Windows setup and manage the Grub boot menu on your behalf.
How are you? I'm just starting out on this forum and finding it a bit tricky to use all the features.
Windows installation succeeded, but Grub failed to detect the setup correctly. I'm collaborating with Ajmal 360 through DM to resolve this problem.
Make sure os-prober is installed by carefully following the command output. If it detects Windows, edit grub config files like /etc/default/grub.d/ and remove or comment the line with GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true. After that, run sudo update-grub to apply changes.
