I have two other BIOS machines that are also dual-boot Windows and F22 (one is XP and the other is Vista) and grub2 detects them correctly as "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" and "Windows Vista (loader)", resp. I don't know if something changed in Windows 8 and later, or if it has to do with my W10 machine being an upgrade from W7, as opposed to the clean install I normally do. (I could clean install it, since W10 should reactivate automatically, but it's not worth the trouble for now.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
