I know this seems like a duplicate but this isn’t. I want to know what is the most efficient way to dual boot Ubuntu alongside Windows (not the simpliest way). Let me explain. Today, I made my dual boot like that. I made a new partition on Windows, I used Rufus to create my bootable USB stick, I booted from it, I installed Ubuntu (root, swap, home) and that’s it. Every time I switch on my computer, GRUB appears and asks me to choose an OS. The problems are:

  • I have 3 unnamed partitions on my disk (root, swap, home)
  • My main OS is Windows so I think this is better for me to have the Windows bootmgr, so that I can configure it easier (I use Windows a lot more than Ubuntu)

So, can you tell me how to do this, with websites or whatever, to regroup my partitions in one, and replace GRUB with the Windows bootmgr ?

  • Windows will not see your Linux partitions. If you want to share data you can add a NTFS data partition, but must have Windows fast start up off as it sets hibernation flag & then Linux NTFS driver will not mount it read/write to protect it from damage. Why not just set Windows as default boot in UEFI and when you want Ubuntu use one time UEFI boot key often f12 or f10 check your manual to choose Ubuntu.

  • Title does not seem to match the question. "Most efficient" has no metrics in the question.

  • @oldfred i thought about it but I have an HP computer, and when I press f12, it doesn’t show me either Windows or Ubuntu OS
