On WIN 10 installation choose Advanced Setup and Choose pre-created NTFS to install windows here.ĭisable Fast start up and Sleep on Power OptionsĬheck the partitions are corectly installed on WIN10 -> especially your uefi partion is installed on the right place (sda1), if WIN10 created it somewhere else start again from the #1st point! Left At least 500 MB free, Microsoft reserved and Linux will use during the installation.Īfter you finished the pre-created partion you can start WIN 10 installation → New Partition Table (I have UEFI so in my case it will be GPT.)Ĭreate Partition Primary: 260 MB fat32 EFI partition (sda1) and flag as boot otherwise WIN installer won't see itĬreate Partition Primary: btrfs partition (sda2) for GarudaĬreate Partition Primary: ntfs partion (sda3) for WIN 10 Than I formated my ssd used KDE/GParted partition manager. You should start the partitioning on an empty hard drive!Ģ - GParted Handbook or KDE partition manager handbookģ - USB flash drive with Garuda ISO created by balena etcherīoot with Garuda ISO. Never ever use any hard drive with important data or Manual partitioning will erase your entire hard drive! This is how my partition table looks like:

The other way if you use your Garuda ISO, boot with the live ISO created by balena etcher and use GParted or KDE partition manager to make partitions manually.

You can accidentally erase all you data is important for you!.

Any windows update can overwrite your boot partition and you stuck on a never ending spiral of recovering Windows and Grub Partitions anytime when Windows Updates!.

Have to use supergrubdisk for GRUB recovery to recover your boot partition.

Now you have a Dual Boot Installation with an unbootable Linux on it.

Because win 10 install will overwrite/destroy your GRUB and will boot microsoft automatically.Why is it not recommend to install Linux on Windows: It's Recommended to install WIN 10 first with a Linux pre-created partition table and LInux after.

! Before you start to do anything make sure you backup your system first ! I have EFI boot system, for legacy boot It can be different! Garuda doesn't officially provide support for dual boot systems!
