Mar 20, 2016 In this tutorial, let’s learn how to install Linux Mint on a PC which is running any version of Windows. This tutorial is tested to be working 100% without any issues on Windows 10 and Linux Mint in a dual boot configuration. Apr 10, 2017 It is easier to select the 'Install Linux Mint alongside Windows Boot Manager' install option = the LM Installer will allocate itself a minimal free disk space of about 20GB from the Win 10 system partition, auto-partition that free disk space and auto-install the Linux boot-loader on the Windows EFI System Partition. Sep 03, 2017 Its all working great, and i can dual boot, choosing at start up from the grub menu, i have it set as Windows boot manager priority with 10 seconds, so if i don't select Linux Mint before the 10 seconds it boots straight to Windows.

This should work for most systems that use UEFI and which have two HDD.
Specification used for the tutorial below:
Dell Inspiron E5440:
- Main HDD - 256GB Samsung SSD (Windows 10 installed)
- https://newgeorgia855.weebly.com/conversion-to-roman-numerals.html. Secondary HDD - 64GB Transcend mSATA SSD (Mint 18 was installed to this drive)
A) UEFI/BIOS
- Set to 'UEFI mode only' (no legacy/CSM).
- Disable 'secure boot'
- Disable 'Intel Rapid Start' (if equipped)
- Disable 'fast boot' in UEFI (note this is different than the 'fastboot' setting in Windows 8/10). The options in your UEFI/BIOS might say something like Full/Minimal/Automatic for boot mode. Select Full (or thorough, or complete, etc whatever your UEFI vendor has chosen to call it).
B) Advanced Power Options (Fastboot)
Disable fastboot in Windows 8/10 under 'advanced power options'. Restart computer to ensure that this subsequent boot and the next reboot/shutdown will be in 'normal' mode.
Optional:
Install Macrium Reflect (free) and create a backup image and reinstallation media should something go wrong with Windows 10.
C) Rufus / Bootable USB stick
Use Rufus to create a bootable USB stick with your choice of Ubuntu based distro. Make sure in Rufus that you CHOOSE the option UEFI/GPT only. This ensures the Linux environment boots only into UEFI mode during your install.
D) Boot Menu
Reboot your computer and press key for one time boot menu (Dell is typically F12). Select your USB stick from the boot options.
Note:
Make sure it says UEFI in front of the USB stick in the boot menu.
If not, return to Windows and recreate your USB stick with Rufus ensuring you choose the UEFI/GPT (only) option.
E) Boot into USB Stick
Boot into Linux live environment and begin install.
F) Installation type
When you get to the installation option, choose 'Something else' at the bottom of the Ubiquity installer.
G) Create partitions
Find your secondary HDD that you will be installing Linux to.
In my case it was listed as /dev/sdc (with /dev/sda being the windows drive and /dev/sdb the USB drive [which was invisible in the installer]).
So basically:
- 1st Partition / EFI
- Select your target drive (in my case /dev/sdc)
- Select 'Make New Partition Table'
- Partition the target drive as follows:
- Size: 650 MB
- Type for the new partition: Primary
- Location for the new partition: Beginning of this space
- Use as: EFI (this will be listed as /dev/sdc1 efi in the partitioning tool once you create it)
- 2nd Partition / Root
- Select 'free space' under your target drive (in my case /dev/sdc)
- Select '+'
- Partition the target drive as follows:
- Size: min. 10 GB (20+GB better)
- Type for the new partition: Primary
- Location for the new partition: Beginning of this space
- Use as: ext4
- Mount point: Choose '/'
- 3rd Partition / Swap
- Select 'free space' under your target drive (in my case /dev/sdc)
- Select '+'
- Partition the target drive as follows:
- Size: min. 2 GB (20+GB better)
- Type for the new partition: Primary
- Location for the new partition: Beginning of this space
- Use as: swap (if you wish to use hibernation, the swap needs to be just slightly larger than your total amount of RAM - example I have 8 GB so the size of this parition was set at 9000 MB)
- 4th Partition / Home
- Select 'free space' under your target drive (in my case /dev/sdc)
- Select '+'
- Partition the target drive as follows:
- Size: remainder of space on drive
- Type for the new partition: Primary
- Location for the new partition: Beginning of this space
- Use as: ext4
- Mount point: Choose '/home'
H) Boot loader Device
- BEFORE clicking 'Install Now', from the 'device for boot loader installation' option button, select the 650MB EFI partition you just created as the target for the bootloader. (example /dev/sdc1 in my case).
- Click 'Install Now'.
Ashtanga hridaya pdf. I) Installation & Reboot
- Finish installation process and reboot (removing the USB stick when your UEFI/BIOS screen logo appears).
J) Upon reboot
After UEFI/BIOS reads the new bootloader entry that Linux has added to it, you will be presented with the grub menu with a listing of your Linux distro as well as a listing to boot Windows 10.
- Boot into Linux
- Install any updates and then reboot and attempt to enter Windows 10 from the grub menu to make sure that grub correctly handles the hand-off to the Windows 10 bootloader.
What you have done:
You have installed the Linux EFI bootloader to the newly created EFI partition. In the process of this, Linux has added an entry to your UEFI listings in your systems UEFI/BIOS. Linux has also automatically detected your Windows 10 install and added a grub menu item to boot it. Your computer at this point will now automatically boot to Linux unless you choose to boot to Windows (from the Grub menu).
What you have not done:
You have not in any way altered your Windows 10 install or its bootloader or even so much as touched the Windows 10 EFI partition. Everything is reversible simply by removing the Linux UEFI listing from your UEFI/BIOS settings. How to do so varies from each vendor.

same environment as mine :)just download iso image and put it into your bootable DVD/USB.Set the partition and install,
then set the first boot device to linux installed HDD at the BIOS/UEFI.Otherwise, you can only boot with Win10

I currently have Ubuntu 15.10 on one partition and CentOS 7 on a separate partition of the same 1TB HDD (as well as swap partitons.) On a separate SSD I have Windows 10.
![Dual Dual](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vxepmtjmilQ/hqdefault.jpg)
Here is what I'd suggest:
-Install Windows 10 on your HDD/SSD (if not done already)
-Make a bootable USB/CD of Ubuntu
-Boot USB/CD
-Select 'other' for install portion
-Create 30GB '/' partition of type ext4
-Create 8GB of type swap *
-Create x-amount GB (whatever space is left) for '/home' of type ext4 **
-Install grub2 on drive that has Windows master boot record.
After finishing up the install you will reboot and see grub2 and be able to choose which OS to boot into.
*assuming you have 8GB ram
**alternatively you can make one large / partition instead of a separate /home partition if you prefer.

If you have installed Linux on its own partition in a dual-boot configuration, there’s usually no easy uninstaller that will remove it for you. Instead, you’ll likely need to delete its partitions and repair the Windows boot loader on your own.
RELATED:5 Ways To Try Out and Install Ubuntu On Your Computer
How you uninstall Linux depends on how you’ve installed it. If you installed Linux as your only operating system, you’ll have to reinstall Windows over Linux to get your Windows system back.
If You Installed Linux with Wubi
RELATED:What Is a Linux Distro, and How Are They Different from One Another?
If you installed Ubuntu or a similar Linux distribution like Linux Mint with Wubi, it’s easy to uninstall. Just boot into Windows and head to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Find Ubuntu in the list of installed programs, and then uninstall it like you would any other program. The uninstaller automatically removes the Ubuntu files and boot loader entry from your computer.
If You Installed Linux to Its Own Partition
If you installed Linux to its own partition in a dual-boot configuration, uninstalling it requires removing the Linux partitions from your computer and then expanding your Windows partitions to use the now-free hard disk space. You also have to restore the Windows boot loader yourself, since Linux overwrites the Windows boot loader with its own boot loader, known as “GRUB.” After deleting the partitions, the GRUB boot loader won’t boot your computer properly.
Let’s take a closer look at how to get all that done.
Step One: Delete Your Linux Partitions
RELATED:How to Manage Partitions on Windows Without Downloading Any Other Software
First, you’ll need to delete the Linux partitions. Start by booting into Windows. Press the Windows key, type “diskmgmt.msc“ into the Start menu search box, and then press Enter to launch the Disk Management app.
In the Disk Management app, locate the Linux partitions, right-click them, and delete them. You can identify the Linux partitions because they have no label under the “File System” column, while Windows partitions will be identified by their “NTFS” file system.
Be careful while deleting partitions here—you wouldn’t want to accidentally delete a partition with important files on it.
Next, locate the Windows partition near the newly available free space, right-click it, and select Extend Volume. Extend the partition so that it takes up all of the available free space. Any free space on your hard drive will remain unusable until you assign it to a partition.
You can also choose to create a new, separate partition instead of expanding your current Windows partition, if you like.
Step Two: Fix the Windows Boot Loader

Linux has now been removed from your computer, but its boot loader persists. We’ll need to use a Windows installer disc to overwrite the Linux boot loader with the Windows boot loader.
If you don’t have a Windows installer disc lying around, you can create a Windows repair disc and use that instead. Follow our instructions to create a system repair disc in Windows 8 or 10 or create one in Windows 7.

How To Dual Boot Windows 10 And Linux Mint
Insert the Windows installer or recovery disc into your computer, restart your computer, and let it boot from that disc. You’re going to be accessing the Command Prompt from the recovery environment. We’re covering Windows 10 here, but the instructions will also work for Windows 8. If you have Windows 7, check out our guide for accessing the recovery Command Prompt with a Windows 7 disc.
After booting from your installation or recovery disc, skip the initial languages screen, and then click the “Repair your computer” option on the main install screen.
On the “Choose an option” screen, click the “Troubleshoot” option.
On the “Advanced options” screen, click the “Command Prompt” option.
At the Command Prompt, type the following command and then press Enter:
You can now restart your computer. It will boot from its hard drive, starting Windows normally. All traces of Linux should now be erased.
