And after converting to KVM > I converted them from BIOS to UEFI.) Well have to look into it. Was expecting the installation of Fedora to handle the adding of Fedora to the current boot setup. Don't recall it prompting for changing boot to UEFI from the existing Legacy that the Windows 10 on the Dell machine had. Bought the dell machine on ebay for about $150 with 8G ram and 1T drive just to have a windows machine around. Other 6 machines all Fedora. So, don't have any windows installation media. So, at precent the default boot on machine comes up with Fedora, and no offer of windows in UEFI manager. Have to use the F12 key, which then default to show the Legacy boot from drive that brings up the Windows 10 just fine. On my notebook, the grub menu has the Window 7 as a boot option from sda2. The Dell also is loading the windows from sda2 since sda1 is recovery partition. Has sda3 as a FAT16 partition that was created by install, since before disk only had sda1 and sda2. Just thought it would handle it, or at least give a message that install was converting system to UEFI boot, and old OS would not be a boot option under the UEFI.. Learn something new.. So, will have to see of others have other options.. Thanks for quick reply. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
