Stretch installed perfectly dual-boot with Win 10 on an EFI Acer netbook, but upgrading to Buster broke booting to grub. It actually broke EFI booting completely, but I've been able to restore booting at least to Windows. And yes, I've tried everything the Net can suggest. On another machine, upgrading Buster to Bullseye broke it beyond my ability to fix, so I installed Bullseye from scratch. Upgrades are definitely a lot more trouble now, and yes, I do realise that each release is bigger and more complicated than the last. -- Joe
