# Dual-Booting Arch with Windows 10 This will depict the methods I used dual[tri]-boot my linux install with windows 10 ## My Partition Scheme My Partitions are as followed (sda being what the hard-drive is referred to by fdisk -l) sda [300 GB (I plan to upgrade to 1 TB soon)]: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - sda1 (my EFI partition) [500 MB] * This is where my grub .efi files are located for use by my bootloader - sda2 (My Arch-linux install location) [20 GB] * This is where my root "/" partition is located for my linux install - sda3 ("/home" directory) [150 GB] * This is the home directory of my arch-linux install. - sda4 (Ubuntu install) [30 GB] * Shares sda3 as a home directory with Arch - sda5 (my Windows 10 install) [30 GB] - sda6 (extra storage for windows) [70 GB] * will Probably merge this with the windows install at a later date. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Configuring the Grub bootloader ---------------------------------- ### Adding it to Grub 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 add it to the list of bootable OS's. ### Setting Arch as my Default I downloaded the "grub-customizer" package to push Arch to the top of the list, so I didn't have to hurry and sellect it every time I boot up my PC.
