- Start the computer and press the appropriate key to enter the boot menu
- Select the EndeavourOS installation from the boot menu
- Log in to the EndeavourOS installation
- Open a terminal window and run the following command to install the bootloader:
sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n14. Testing the Dual Boot
After installing the bootloader, restart the system and test the dual boot. You should be able to choose between the Windows 10 and EndeavourOS installations at boot time.
