Also, a lot of laptops are installed in Legacy Mode, as setting them up in EFI was impossible.

1. Backup all data.
2. Convert MBR to GPT.
3. Create an ESP partition, add it to the /etc/fstab file and mount.
4. sudo dnf swap grub2 grub2-efi
5. sudo dnf install shim (only if needed).
6. Reboot.

That is quite a painful process. And how do you do that on a MBR system that dual boots Fedora and Windows 10? I really don't want to go through the pain of reinstalling Windows and all the programs that I have there.
