The grub2-efi package installs a prebaked grubx64.efi on the EFI System partition, which looks for grub.cfg on the ESP in /EFI/fedora/ whereas the grub2-install command creates a custom grubx64.efi, deletes the original installed one, and looks for grub.cfg in /boot/grub2/. I suggest 'dnf reinstall grub2-efi' and then deleting the grub.cfg from both locations and then creating a new one with 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg' and see if it has now found the Windows bootloader and correctly created an entry for it. > grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg > > However, Windows 7 is still not detected. > Sounds like this bug. If you can reproduce this after reinstalling grub (by reinstalling the package, not using grub2-install), and recreating the grub.cfg, please post the grub.cfg and the results of output from 'os-prober' and confirm the existence of /boot/efi/EFI/microsoft/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986731 Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
