I understand how to do all of that. But I was looking for some kind of mod that allows those groups to be snapped to ANY place on the start screen. As it is now, you are limited to where you're...

I'm moving all of my game icons to the start tile screen. But I want to know is there a way to have a simple grid where it doesn't try to group them in blocks? For example, I have some misc software...

THANK YOU. This solved it. I think this was mentioned earlier by you or someone else perhaps but I've messed around with it enough now where I vaguely understood what the commands were doing. I...

i understand the difference between booting the recovery disk in UEFI vs legacy. I've been doing it in UEFI. I will try what you outlined here first, simply bc I'd like to be able to know...

Thanks, I'll be giving this a shot first thing when I get home. Thank you!

topgundcp
Thanks for clarifying that. Makes sense.

those partition files that I will download from you; I assume I could access those by placing them on a usb stick on another computer, plugging...

It is indeed a EFI install, and the disk is GPT format, I also check secure boot (when I checked this info when I could still boot into win10) and it said "unsupported" so I don't know...

@topgundcp I will give that a shot tonight after work. Looks promising. Thank you. Also, what does that "Fix windows boot problems" button in macrium actually do? Does it simply run a bootrec...

The fix windows start-up didn't work, I will try cloning my windows drive tomorrow and go that route as you described. Thanks for your help so far. That is a nifty took btw (the iso you linked)

I'll try that tomorrow. Tonight I followed some advice I found somewhere (forget now because I've got posts on multiple forums) and I get all the way to the end and got an error. Here is a screenshot...

Did as instructed in that link. When I boot up it shows a black screen with "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boost media in selected boot device and press a key

Any ideas?

Did this and after the bcdboot command I got "failure when attempting to copy boot files"

Yep. The only reason I dual booted this time was to tinker with VFIO passthrough on a separate drive, thinking it would leave my main OS and bootloader untouched. I was wrong lol. But If I mess with...

I see, thank you. The reason I ask is because of this mess That I'm currently trying to resolve.

thank you so much. I have the understanding that EFI bootloaders are stored on the a physical drive, so in this case, the ssd.

So if there were other EFI bootloaders present from messing around...

Thank you very much Avodcado. I will try all of this tonight after work.

So for the last 4 years I have played with linux installs on and off. But something I ALWAYS encounter, is when I eventually get tired of linux (from not being able to play my games), during the...

Will this still work even though when I run bootsec /scanOS the cmd prompt says "0 windows installations detected" ?

I have unplugged that drive and the "ubuntu" boot device is still the only one that will show up. When I try to boot from that, it brings up a black screen with white text saying something about...

So I am looking to REMOVE ubuntu, but right now, my system uses Grub to boot into windows or ubuntu.

Ubuntu is installed on a hdd, w10 installed on a ssd. I BELIEVE that they are both efi...
