Dual booting Debian on an Windows machine.

I will be setting up a Windows laptop to dual boot Debian. If the machine has legacy BIOS, no problem as I've done that before. If it is a UEFI machine (possibly with secure boot, what should I be reading. TIA

Re: Dual booting Debian on an Windows machine.

Re: Dual booting Debian on an Windows machine.

this is possible: you just need to have two .efi files for your OSes: one for Windows and one for Linux. Use ``efibootmgr`` to manage it. If you have secure boot enabled, you need shim: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot On Sat, Apr 30, 2022 at 3:06 PM Richard Owlett wrote: > I will be setting u

Re: Dual booting Debian on an Windows machine.

I am not aware of any document, but here is how UEFI boot works: Harddrive is GPT-labeled and it has a partition with a special EFI flag. The partition is formatted as Fat32. Firmware (people tend to call it BIOS) contains configuration in non-volatile memory. This configuration consists of paths
