Thanks for watching guys!
To choose your OS from a nice graphical menu when your computer starts, you can install a boot loader such as rEFInd. Here's my video on that if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/xRZab8yrSOQ/v-deo.html
Takes an aussie to actually explain this correctly.. From one aussie to another, cheers mate
I would never have guessed this is a first video - very well done. The only thing I would say is the audio is rather low if you're on a device that doesn't happen to make loud noises. Very much appreciate taking the time to do a full runthrough for beginners, and that you included how to boot from a ventoy usb.
Good work and thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial bro, it was great
Well done on your first video, i found your style informative and easy to understand. Just getting into Linux as a newbie and will be following your channel going forward (subscribed) also, nice to hear a fellow Aussie for a change LOL. Good luck with your channel and thanks for teaching an old 65 year old some new tricks. Cheers from Melbourne!
dual booting always scares me, despite doing distro hopping for a long while now. My anxiety still brings me back in these tutorials 😂
I'm probably going to buy a cheap laptop to mess around.
Great idea! I do all my dual booting experimental stuff on an old laptop with nothing important on it. That way, if I accidentally mess up, it's ok.
@@bytesized12it's a pretty rare chance of you messing up you know that but whatever
Thanks for the video. Install done, works great👍
This video was very helpful thank you!!
Thank you! Very informative, i was especially interested in the dual boot process.
thanks a lot,i'd like to see more videos
Cool video. Thanks for showing us how it is done. Subscribed!
Worked perfectly. You just got a new subscriber. Subscribed!😊
Awesome, thank you!
@@bytesized12 thanks for hearting my comment. I have a question tho. After installing, I try to connect to my phone's hotspot by toggling on the Wi-Fi button. But it won't even toggle on. It goes straight back off.
I don't know why
Thanks for the video. Congrats. seeing as though it is your first one. Trying to decide whether to dual boot my laptop or just install LInux and delete the Windows. Bit inexperienced at this !
Thank you, I'm going in.
Thanks Bill, great help to an old fella.
Think I'll go for the "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows Boot Manager" as Mint seems to be the one for someone who has been into Windows since "Floppy's".
I presume I can still update from there if the need arises?
Good on ya.
Dual booting Windows and Linux, with UEFI, Secureboot, and TPM, is definitely trickier than the good old MBR days when you were dual booting Win 98 and Win XP. I have counteless times that Linux messed up my Windows boot loader, and it was difficult to fix with the sh*tty Dell bios.
Good Job :-) Easy to understand and follow along with. For those of us who are not great typists perhaps you could include a list of the commands you use in terminal so we could copy and paste them. I appreciate the quiet background - that makes it easier to hear and understand you and is much less distracting than having any sort of music or other sounds in the background. I also like your calm quiet voice style. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your videos.
Thanks for the feedback, glad this was helpful!
Hi really enjoyed your video .Watched it several times and after a few attempts i finally managed to dual boot windows and linux ....my windows computer was at fault or maye microsoft are to blame.!! Would like to see your video on installing a new boot application that is more presentable than grub.Ventoy is excellent again thank you.Regards alan
Thanks for the kind words! Here's the link to the video on the boot manager: ua-cam.com/video/xRZab8yrSOQ/v-deo.html
Re my previous comment. I have gone into the "Disk Management" and alongside the "C" drive which shows "118.10 GB NTFS " there is a partition which shows 552 MB Healthy Recovery Partition. What do I do with this ?
I have the two operating systems on separate drives, when I boot the computer they both appear as an option, however, when Linux Mint goes to boot all I get is a black screen and a command prompt with this on it 👉 GRUB>_
It flashes, waiting for me to type something in order to continue to LinuX Mint. When I disconnect the Windows hard drive the Linux operating system boots without any problems. I used 'EasyBCD' to dual boot them too, but still no joy. Does anyone know how fix this?
is there a method where after installation , the pc by default boot into windows but when you wanna use mint, you may press some key during startup to boot into mint
I think the best way to do this is just to have a short timer on the rEFInd auto boot, say 3 seconds or so. If you don't touch it, it'll go straight into windows, but if you wanted to use linux, you have the option of selecting it just in time:)
thanks for the video mate.
The only problem i am facing is that the Mint option is coming at top and gets selected by default if i dont choose any option. how do i make it such that windows comes at the top and is booted by default.
Thanks
You should be able to change your default boot order in the UEFI settings. There's usually a 'Boot Priority List' or something like that.
Otherwise you can install a bootloader such as rEFInd (I did a video on that!) so you can visually select the OS when you boot up.
@@bytesized12 thanks mate.
could you please link a guide to follow or perhaps make a video yourself !
Mate tea from japan…man
Excellent! Thank you very much :)
