![]() ![]() Too, if you wouldn't mind posting the Make/Model of the computer you are using for this dual-boot combo some of our other folks here might have a further suggestion. It really became more of an issue with W7/W8x when Microsoft re-wrote their boot-sector code to not play nice with other OSes such as Linux! Hopefully, EasyBCD will fix your problem otherwise you'll likely have to apply one of my other fixes which of course involve reinstalling both OSes in the correct order with W10 being 1st. OS install order with dual-boot Linux is a big deal and has been going back to Win2k or so. If you don't have a netbook or a laptop then certainly this issue won't apply to you, but it's worth knowing about. I experimentally found that when I was running both wired and Wi-Fi connection to the router for the Internet, my Internet speed dropped from 16 Mbps to 2-4 Mbps! This was no-Bueno, so I stripped off the Ubuntu from the netbook and the Internet speed immediately went back to 16-18 Mbps! Since I didn't use the Ubuntu for much on that netbook anyway, I removed it and now only have W10 on it. The main thing you should be aware of, especially with netbooks using the old Intel ATOM processor chip they are underpowered! At least for the dual-boot W10-Ubuntu combo. And that DID WORK! Because I have many computers to play with, I was finally able to get v16.04LTS dual-booting with W10 using the W10 built-in BCD menu on a nearly 10 year old Dell Dimension E520 Desktop PC. That combo NEVER worked! I had to revert to Ubuntu v14.04.1LTS, the previous version. With Ubuntu I tried for almost 2 years to W10 dual-booting with the newest Ubuntu version, v16.04LTS. If you have the latest and you have this dual-boot setup on a laptop or netbook, try reverting to the previous verison of Mint. One thing you should know is that if you are running a laptop or a netbook with that new version of Mint *is v18 the newest?*, that could be a problem. ![]() Then scroll down and click 'Recovery.' There will be a section titled 'Recovery Options. If you arent, click 'System' in the top left-hand corner of the Settings window. Ensure that you are on the System window. ![]() I can tell you that I personally have run into problems with several of my older non-UEFI BIOS PCs with Ubuntu, my favorite Linux version. Open the Start Menu, type 'Settings' into the search bar, and then click 'Open' or hit Enter. I used it a few years ago with good result. Before your reinstall both your OSes (in case you installed your Mint BEFORE W10), download the free EasyBCD this works good for many of our members, but since I haven't tried it on a UEFI-based BIOS machine, you'll have to try it yourself. On old motherboards, it varies, there are old UEFI systems with very poor quality firmwares, there are systems where UEFI works fine but doesnt give you any advantages, etc. This is true in Ubuntu, Mint, and Puppy Linux. 1) On modern motherboards yes, Id switch to native UEFI mode and it may also boot faster. Hi, Did you install your Mint AFTER your W10 or BEFORE? It makes a difference and there is contention in the boot sector between the 2 OSes. ![]()
