harold1 I dont get what you mean

#

yes the option will show up
but you will need to use GRUB

#

no

#

you will need a bootloader of some sort

#

else you won't be able to boot into any OS

#

idk about that

#

but it should

#

you can test run it

#

that's the bootloader

#

it should start with windows blah blah blah

tacit estuary
#

well that's up to you

#

personally i do dual boot atm

#

nope

ember tundra
#

that's gonna be slightly difficult but i know it's possible to do

#

if you still have the vfat partition for windows you can mount that, and there's a tool you can use to repair the bootloader with it but i don't know what the commands are or what that tool does

tacit estuary
#

install os-prober

#

@compact bronze

#

sudo pacman -Sy os-prober

ember tundra
#

partition scheme differs for everyone, i'm not sure
lsblk -f or blkid as root should tell

tacit estuary
#

when you power on your system

#

it helps list out the os in your computer

#

did you set it up?

compact bronze
#

reread what i initially said

tacit estuary
#

i know

#

because the thing isn't showing right

#

the windows boot loader is not showing

#

exactly

#

you need to set up os-prober

#

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

#

you can use vim instead of nano if you prefer that

#

idk

#

doubt it does

tacit estuary
#

you can change the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to 10 just to give you time to decide on which os you wanna pick
but most importantly at the end of the file you should see something like

#

#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=FALSE

#

remove the #

#

and save your file

#

then run
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

#

to update changed then in the output you should see something like
Microsoft/boot

#

then restart

#

update me when you are done @compact bronze
