How to Dual Boot Debian linux and Windows 11 ( EASY METHOD )

[@samiescobar-xm5hs]

For those who boot straight into windows you guys need to set kali first in the boot priority in the bios and grub will load so you can choose to boot into windows or linux

[@nico._12345]

Thank you so much! I was scared I couldn't do it but in the end it all went perfect, except a little thing, after finishing the installation it didn't load in the grub loader but instead on windows. I managed to get it right by rebooting, entering bios and from the boot option there was a "", I assumed it could've been it and selected it. It was the grub loader and I got right into Debian! Really nice video!

[@kskroyaltech]

Awesome .. Thanks for the support.

Wonderful guide! I followed every instructions and it finally worked. Tips for fellow NIVIDIA users, don't miss the crucial detail at 8:48 to choose X11 instead of Wayland. Wayland still wouldn't work even after nomodeset

[@belinzenewtone6376]

Thanks for the heads up

[@cr0n0us_4]

I chose to install GNOME DE instead of KDE. I have 2 options GNOME and GNOME-Classic. When I check in settings, both of those are apparently using X11 but I'm having some screen flickering after I installed Nvidia drivers... Can someone help me?

[@chambita00]

Crystal clear instructions! Thank you. I was able to install Debian 12, tried four months and removed.amazing tutorial 👍

[@Vaish.001]

For those removing debian, follow the steps as shown in the video. Then to hide the EFI Volume / Partition from ThisPC ( after assigning it the letter x ) , Follow the given steps : To remove a drive letter from a drive in Command Prompt, you can use the Diskpart utility: Open an elevated Command Prompt. Type `diskpart` and press Enter. Type `list volume` and press Enter. Note the volume number for the drive letter you want to remove. Type `select volume ` and press Enter. Type `remove letter=` and press Enter. Close the elevated Command Prompt.

[@chastitywhiterose]

I used balena etcher to install debian on an old PC I bought in 2012. I used a $6 usb 32 gb drive that I bought at Walmart. Since the PC was super old and couldn’t run Windows anymore I installed it as the only operating system. If I buy a new laptop I will probably come back to this video to set up a proper dual boot system.

[@kskroyaltech]

Thank you so much for watching this video. I hope you get a best Laptop and successfully able to run everything.

[@agostinhomatos321]

Good and practical instructions. About Secure Boot being enable or disabled in Windows 11, here is an information I read from a Microsoft guy - "While Windows 11 does require a TPM, the "Secure Boot" requirement is that your hardware has to be capable of supporting Secure Boot. It can be disabled on Windows 11 PCs if you have TPM 2.0". Some sites say that disabling Secure Boot in Windows 11 may cause you to stop receiving windows updates, but I think it is just some guy guessing. You should also have mentioned that nvidia drivers is only to be installed for computers with a Nvidia graphics card. Mine is Intel not Nvidia.

Hi KSK Royal, Thank you for an excellent tutorial video. I am installing Debian 12.6 64-bit and the installation consistently hangs at selecting a mirror. I've looked around in the forum and learned that others have had the same issue. Is there another way to go about this? At this moment, I'm just stuck. Thank you for any thoughts you can share.

Does this work pretty much the same on windows 10? My laptop dont support windows 11. Pls help 🙏

[@sashpawar11]

I installed the nvidia drivers, but now after restart, my External monitor is not getting detected neither is it displaying anything. I'm using a gtx 1650ti. It was displaying on the monitor perfectly fine before installing the drivers

[@Iniuzz]

Hello! Your comment is already very old. But this happens because Nvidia drivers sometimes fail on Linux due to their lack of support.

[@labi4280]

thanks for the video. it helped me

[@krys-mp]

Thank you for this great guide. If I want unstable version, should I install base system and then install unstable version, or can I do it without installing base? I know there is an ISO file that can be used, but it requires advanced installation and I'm not sure if it will work with other systems on different drives. Also, will it work if I add another system, such as Arch, on a separate drive(each system on it's own drive)? Thank you very much.

[@progCan]

i don't think an unstable release and a stable release will have a different way to dual boot

[@pythone.g.account5355]

hi at 8:46, how come it is best to choose X11? Isn't X11 the older protocol compared to wayland? Did you have problems using wayland?

[@chastitywhiterose]

Wayland gave me serious problems on a Pinebook pro. It updated everything to use Wayland and then refused to boot the desktop environment. X11 has been around since the 1980s and works fine so don’t change to Wayland if you can help it or you may have an unusable PC or at least have to reinstall everything.

[@sahil___jakhar]

hey ksk, what's the differnce between the netinstaller(700 - 800 MB) and Debian "DVD images via HTTP/FTP"(about 4.7 gb) what should I prefer?

[@kskroyaltech]

Net installer is very less in Size, Cause it requires internet connection to download Desktop environment and other packages to properly configure the system, DVD is like a bundle with all packages that doesn't require internet To download anything. Anything should work fine. If you have strong internet choose the net installer other wise stick to latter.

Please make a video to install the nvidia driver for laptops that have integrated gpu and discreate gpu and how to switch the gpu on debian. Thank you.

Sure I will do. thanks for the suggestion.

[@jolnix]

I'm surprised it didn't ask where to put the grub bootloader as it used to. It assumed everything by itself like Ubuntu/Mint for example?

[@kskroyaltech]

It will install the grub boot loader automatically in the default EFI partition of windows 11.

[@instrutordearmamento]

About the nvidia card... i have an intel KF processor, which means it doesn´t have an integrated graphics card. The Nvidia discrete (dedicated) GPU is the only graphics card in the system. Will Debian at recognize the GC even before installing the Nvidia kernel? Don´t want to install and boot into Debian just to find out i can´t see what i´m doing xD Thanks

[@benarcher372]

Thank you for another good video. Is the process of removing the Debian system the same on Windows 10? I remember using some third-party software to 'reset' the Win 10 boot partition (wiping out all Linux stuff). Are the steps similar if changing Debian for Ubuntu? Thanks and take care.

[@kskroyaltech]

If your windows 10 is booted in UEFI mode with GPT partition, the deletion process of debian Is same mentioned in the video. Check the BIOS Mode type *msinfo32* inside command prompt , you will see BIOS MODE. If it says Legacy, do not use the deletion method mentioned in this video, use EASY BCD tool.

How do you increase the 100mb EFI partition because after I install Debian 12 my ThinkPad has a firmware update which cannot be installed due to the size off EFI

[@kskroyaltech]

For that we need to create a separate EFI partition for debian using the manual partitioning method during the debian installation. In this video I used WINDOWS EFI partition that is of 100MB SIZE which can be increased further.

[@Grimmjow50]

if i wanted to change the distro should i just delete the volumes or do all the process again

Delete all volumes and install any desired distro. Check the last part of the video to delete partitions.

i dont understand why do i need to install nvidia drivers with an intergrated amd gpu ? and also why would i need to increase the grub menu timeout ? great video otherwise :)

1) If you have NVIDIA GPU then install them. 2) The default grub timeout limit is 5 seconds. For beginners it would be easy for them if grub timeout is increased.
