Manjaro: dual boot with Windows 10

[@marcs9451]

best tutorial on dual booting I've seen so far

[@eflinux]

Thanks!

[@nottiredofwinning3736]

The best! Believe me!

[@atefbenothman1737]

I did just like what he diid, windows update killed my manjaro boot. So how do we avoid that ?

[@eflinux]

That happens sometime after an update. I have a video on the channel on how to recover Grub after an update.

[@RicardoPerezLeon]

Is the best

[@cotty9749]

I wish I could shake your hand and thank you in person, for the amount of effort you put in your videos for us to learn from. Thank you so much!

[@eflinux]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m always happy when someone can profit from the videos:)

This is the best most informative no nonsense explanatory guide I have ever seen. I thank you very much and I appreciate your efforts. 👍👍

[@L0PREZ]

this was a fantastic quick tutorial I had no clue you could access locked files through the task manager like that.

[@neelbanga]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Now I have arch on the big machine and manjaro on the little one!!

[@beefboy8812]

I really like this video, a lot of the dual boot videos you see either over explain every single little thing, like how to make a bootable USB, or they expect you to know exactly what your doing and don't explain anything at all. This is a good middle ground that doesn't treat you/make you feel like an idiot.

[@eflinux]

Thanks for the feedback Mick! I really appreciate that!

I have used Manjaro dual boot with Windows 10 for two years. It is the best Linux system distro for me after trying OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora.

[@jefmasereel4956]

What are the major advantages? I'm new to linux, currently starting with a Manjaro XFCE setup. Would love to know how it compares to other distros.

[@8Masturbek228]

The greatest guide for a newbie. Each step has been explained in details, so that I wouldn't just copy the actions performed but understand what stands behind them. Thank you a lot!

[@aronnirmal]

Thanks for this. I was able to install manjari along windows 10. This is very clear than official documentation

[@eflinux]

[@BongoBaggins]

I've only ever used Debian, and I've just made the jump to Manjaro. This was exactly what I needed, thanks.

[@someboringperson9359]

This is the best tutorial on how to dual boot Manjaro with Windows, tho I didnt use this tutorial to dual boot Manjaro. Instead, I watched this tutorial to dual boot Q4OS which btw has same installer as Manjaro. It was also helpful to see that you also showed the way to remove Manjaro since I used that same method for Q4OS. Im planning to switch to Manjaro Linux, MX Linux or in worst case, Linux Mint. Nonetheless, you saved my ass man :)

[@a.lawrence4969]

Your video is fantastic! I was looking around for what version of ARCH to dual boot with my Windows install and found this. While, I do it all the time this is still helpful. Thank you!

[@MaazAhmed]

The only tutorial that I come back to whenever I forget how to manually partition things for dual booting. Thank you for making this wonderful tutorial!

[@TGBPlayso]

Hi, I followed along with the tutorial step-by-step on my Asus Vivobook laptop, right until 5:58 when you click Next after selecting the Boot flag and the /boot/efi mount point in the FAT32 partition on the installer. However, I'm getting an error saying "An EFI system partition is necessary to start Manjaro. To configure an EFI system partition, go back and select or create a FAT32 filesystem with the boot flag enabled and mount point /boot/efi. You can continue without setting up an EFI system partition but your system may fail to start." But, as I said, I did select a FAT32 fs with the boot flag and mount point /boot/efi, any idea why it isn't detecting it? Should I just continue with the installation or should I change something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Wonderful video! I am about to install Manjaro alongside Windows 10 because I realized dual-booting makes my life much easier. I want to do this using UEFI-GPT rather than BIOS-MBR because my laptop, while being old enough (from 2011), has this option available.

Dual booting windows 10 efi partition warning about partition size can be safely ignored. Current it asks for 300mib but this isn't needed.

Hallo, ich bin schon seid einem Monat dran Linux im dual boot zu installieren. Ich gebe langsam schon die Hoffnung auf. Habe vermutlich schon fünf Mal Manjaro installiert nach verschiedenen Anleitungen. Ich habe alles so gemacht wie sie es im Video gezeigt haben. Leider bekomme ich keine Auswahl welches System ich laden möchte also der grub wird nicht angezeigt. Genauso wie auch bei allen anderen Anleitungen die ich nachgegangen bin. In dem Ordner Efi ist jedoch der Ordner Manjaro vorhanden jedoch leer. Warum klappt das bei mir nicht? Können sie mir helfen. Ich verzweifle langsam daran...

[@eflinux]

Einige Motherboards erlauben standardmäßig keine anderen Bootloader. Möglicherweise hast du die Möglichkeit, dies im BIOS zu ändern. Wenn nicht, lässt deine Motherboard dies möglicherweise nicht zu und du musst das Betriebssystem möglicherweise beim Booten von einem Schlüssel wie F8 aus starten.

[@juridiener5942]

@@eflinux wie könnte ich es im BIOS evtl ändern? Was meinen Sie beim Booten von einem Schlüssel starten

[@eflinux]

Es tut mir leid, ich meinte eine Taste, wie die F8 Taste. Ich weiß nicht, ob und wo es sich befindet, aber die Einstellung wird wahrscheinlich unter den Sicherheitseinstellungen im BIOS vorgenommen.

[@juridiener5942]

Habe ich nicht. Ins BIOS es gibt sicher irgendwelche Einstellungen für Boot oder Security. Dort kann eine Option sein.

I have installed manjaro and everything, but in my uefi there's still only windows boot manager so I can't actually boot into manjaro or grub or anything.

Some motherboards don't allow by default booting other bootloaders. You'll have to check in your BIOS if there is a setting for that.

when i go to shrink and setup the new partition it will not allow me to make it the size I want. I have MORE than enough space. It wants to camp me at 21gigs and I have about 400 free. When I try to change the amount it will not let me increase only decrease. why?

[@eflinux]

It can be tricky sometimes. You can try partitioning from Windows.

That was just a video cut.

[@rajeshkolichalam1221]

for me the grub volume which you shown in windows power shell is not visible and extend volume also not highlighting to select please suggest me how to delete grub

[@eflinux]

In the PowerShell you don't see the Grub volume. You see the Windows EFI volume and Grub is installed in there. Before being able to see it you need to mount it in the system by passing a letter.

[@middle_chld]

My windows restarts whenever I click on shrink and also I have 2 but not 3 automatic partitions as shown at the beginning of the video

[@BruceWayne-wb4tm]

I'm here from 2021, and i've a doubt, in the new version of the installer, in the partition table, you have a drop down to install manjaro's bootloader on different things what must you select to not screw up the windows boot manager?

[@eflinux]

If you created an extra EFI partition for Manjaro you can install the bootloader there, otherwise you don't have much of a choice.

[@BruceWayne-wb4tm]

@@eflinux must I install the boot loader on the system partition (/) or on the master boot record of my ssd(which also has win10)? I also don't seem to have a mount point for /boot/efi, when I go to the efi partition of windows, so is it okay for me to type it out(I only have a mount point as /boot)? Thanks a lot for the help

[@BruceWayne-wb4tm]

@@eflinux I'm sorry to ask too much but for some reason by computer on the installer says BIOS-GPT even tho my computer is a uefi(checked it on windows through ms32info) should I change some settings on my computer's bios utility?(ot has uefi and legacy both)

[@eflinux]

That's a particular setup. In BIOS-GPT you need to have a BIOS boot partition, but the bootloader should be installed on the disk name, not a partition. You can switch to UEFI, but you'll lose the Windows installation doing so.

I followed every steps but whenever i start the pc there is no option to select the two os. I.e no bootloader ui?

[@eflinux]

This can be due to multiple reasons. Your motherboard does not allow booting others boot loader than Windows. In this case you should look in the BIOS to check if there's a setting for that. Or, your motherboard requires a particular efi directory.

[@eflinux]

Hi! As fr the Swap and home is because I do later a swapfile in the system. I usually don't use a home partition because I work with external drives most of the time. As for eh other questions, I am not sure I understand. Google Drive can be accessed through Online Accounts in Settings. Once you log into your Google Account in the Settings it should stay at reboot.
