Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it’s just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.
Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping “Esc” right after power-up, then select “Boot options”, then “Linux”.
EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage – Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.
We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.
I mean Microsofts programming is also just shit. I remember installing Windows 7 back then. The computer had an SSD and a HDD in it with old files. I later removed the HDD and it wouldn’t boot. Because even though I installed Windows on the SSD, it put the bootloader onto the HDD.
I had the exact same thing happen to me and it pissed me off so much.
Windows still does that to this day. For some random reason, it will often create the EFI boot partition in a different drive than the one you’re installing Windows to.
Yeah… It’s typically best to only connect the drive you want the OS on, then add the other(s) post install
