- After installing Windows 10 I booted back into Arch and used the package update-grub to automatically detect the ".efi" files for each install and configure grub to
2021-01-23 20:31:22 +00:00
add it to the list of bootable OS's.

- I downloaded the "grub-customizer" package to push Arch to the top of the list, so I didn't have to hurry and select it every time I boot up my PC.
