Meaning, you need to boot and install MX Linux in same boot mode as Windows, otherwise the dual boot setup won’t work. It is strongly advisable, before proceeding with these steps, backup you system just in case.Īlso another important thing, check your system does it boot in EUFI or in Legacy mode and create the bootable USB to match your PC boot mode. We are going to use a setup were it will have one HDD, Windows 10 already installed, manage partitioning for the MX Linux installation and in the end we will have MX Linux alongside Windows 10 in dual boot setup. In this post we will cover the process on how to dual boot Windows 10 and MX Linux. It makes booting more complicated than anyone wants to deal with.How to dual boot Windows 10 and MX Linux Overview (I will also say that if you do do it this way, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble by keeping every drive either MBR or GPT try not to mix and match.
You won't even have to worry about partitioning. If you can get a cheap SSD or even HDD, and plug it in in parallel, then keep your more-responsible OSes on the major drives, it should make the process simple. I understand that you're trying to do this on a single hard drive, but everyone else has already highlighted the issues behind this (mostly with Windows being a complete about having to share). GRUB even recognized it after a quick device scan. I've done this more than once and it's yet to give me any trouble. After the install, I power down, plug them back in, power up, and set up Windows to use the proper directories (on the other hard drives) for user documents. Any time I do have to reinstall Windows, I simply pull out the SATA cables from the back of my other hard drives first.
I have a development machine here with Windows 7 and Kubuntu I used a 128 GB SSD for Windows (the whole thing) and have Kubuntu dominant on my other three hard drives, with a limited partition made for media files in Windows. This is hardly a complete answer, but it may help.
