Both Windows and Linux install \EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi because that's the default that gets run if there aren't any BootXXXX variables. And yes, Windows 10 does install there. On my system I have /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi and \EFI\Microsoft\{Boot,Recovery}, where /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi is the same binary as bootmgfw.efi. I'm not convinced this is something that's about older systems, and that will go away. -- Rebecca Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
