Are you saying that UEFI boots Fedora, and legacy boots Windows 10?
If yes, you probably can't boot both vai grub (I'm sure someone with
more expertise will chime in).
Just use it for some testing of windows stuff, but it isn't
supported to windows 11, since it has an I3 with 4th gen
cpu, and looks like 11 requies an I3 with 8th gen.
If your CPU supports it, why not convert Windows 10 to a VM? If not,
and you have the Fedora=UEFI/Windows=legacy config, then to get
Windows visible in GRUB you probably have to convert the Windows 10
install to UEFI.
(FWIW I converted my Windows installs to VirtualBox years ago, and
then more recently converted them to KVM. 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.
If the Windows install is legacy then presumably windows was installed
on the laptop by disabling UEFI in the bios (it seems as though it was
active from what you are saying about the fedora install). What happens
if you turn UEFI off in the bios, re-initialise the fedora partition and
re-install fedora?
Have you tried running grub2-mkconfig after booting into fedora for the
first time to see if that sees the Windows partition?
regards,
Steve
