I keep trying different versions as it is an older laptop and more difficult to find something good AND compatible. Still 'glitchy windows', but mostly functional. Now I have a real copy of windows on my desktop that works pretty good. ? Better to have one os that you use all the time.

Some laptops have removable hdd, but probably not many.īasically you have 3 different OS and can only use one at a time, so. So for laptop this method might not be feasable. It is a bit ridiculous.Īlso not sure about installing windows on usb. The Richard Stallman page has a good section on apple explaining everything. Windows/MS is bad enough, but something about apple. I'm not sure about macOS, as that is apple, and I just can't stand them. Of course you can also use a virtual machine. Some will run within windows, concurrently.
#CLOVER EFI SIZE INSTALL#
Other versions will install in the same partition as windows. Some versions of Linux do work on a usb drive or thumb drive. I do play to attempt multi booting again.Ī rather fool-proof way to multi-boot is to use different or separate hard drives, or removable drives, depending on whether the OS in question will accept that as a boot drive or not. Please help and tell me the right way to set this up.

Some say the EFI needs to be increased and some say the recovery needs to be moved. I've read contradicting information about these partitions. I was advised to use Refind this time around instead of Clover. After installing windows i looked in Disk Management and found I have a 529 MB recovery partition in NTFS, a 100 MB EFI system partition in FAT32, and a 16 MB partition called Reserved that doesn't show up in Disk Management. I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of Windows 10 64bit. After days of trying to get it working and finally gave up and started over. Window would not boot, Linux would not boot and I was unable to fix the issue from MacOS. When I got to the part where i installed the new boot manager (Clover) everything went down hill.

I had the laptop Triple booted, was following a guide i picked out. I have basic understanding of computers but get a little lost when dealing with bios uefi and boot-loaders.

I bought it to play around with and learn how to Multi boot.
