I have a notebook with one SSD and one mSATA. I'd like to install Windows 10 LTSB N in the SSD and Ubuntu 16.04 in the mSATA.
Can I have those two installed without Grub 2? I mean, I only want to deal with the BIOS boot order, so I would have Windows Boot Loader
and ubuntu
, I'd set Windows to be 1st choice, so when I need linux, I would turn on the computer holding F12 to get the boot order, and from there select ubuntu
to run.
The BIOS has settings regarding Windows Fast Start, Secure Boot, UEFI Boot, Legacy Boot, and I can enable/disable them if needed.
Is it possible? If positive, what should I do? Thanks.
IT'S WORKING, thanks @Android Dev and @John Orion!
I removed the mSATA and installed Windows in the SSD normally. Then I removed the SSD and put the mSATA again and installed Ubuntu normally.
Now my UEFI BOOT order is like that:
- Entry 01: Windows Boot Manager
- Entry 02: ubuntu
- Entry 03: Ubuntu
I'll later check why I have two entries for Ubuntu, as they both point to the same thing. I hope when I update Windows and/or Ubuntu they don't mess with this!
update-grub
it would probably add the Windows menu item but I still believe it wouldn't change the grub location or anything.. if you choose to try this and it works please let me know and I will add this as an answer so it may help others
