Hi zebedeeboss,
Cheers m8, what I'm doing goes against the grain, but I need to run windoze (probably 2 or 3 at most) programmes, Grrrr....!
Secure boot is not an issue, it is an old Dell 5420, 2nd generation Intel core i3 lappy and a pre-secure boot model.
I did successfully install both OS's. W10 first, then PM8 on a resized 50Gb reformatted ext4 partition of the lappy's disk. Both booted using Peppermint's boot splash.
After altering the boot loader in the BIOS, placing w10 in the primary UEFI position and Ubuntu to secondary, I then experienced problems. i.e Pressing F12 and click on the Ubuntu boot loader wouldn't boot Peppermint, either.
Windoze partition manager recognises (
or rather sees) x4 healthy partitions of an undetermined format. But doesn't recognise Linux, nor has a boot loader whereas w7/8 did. So W10 is OS agnostic.
Have wiped both OS's for a clean install. Once w10 has been install, the licence is for life of that computer's mobo, I can practice this as many times as needed.
1. Is it necessary for P8 to have its own /ESP, I did note it was NOT used when in P8.
2. Install
alongside or
something else3. Leave Ubuntu in primary UEFI position.
4. Any other windoze tips...?
TIA
