on my HP notebook I just setup a triple boot system with 2x Windows 10 + Linux Mint partitions (there are reasons why I don't use virtual machines here).

In my BIOS I had to enable UEFI custom boot and point it at EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi (I had run into this problem, found that solution).

Currently the machine boots into a Grub bootloader showing me - among other options - the main Mint entry + an entry for the Windows bootloader. If I select the latter I end up on the Windows bootloader screen (of course) letting me choose between the 2 Windows systems.

Questions:

  1. is there a way to by-pass the Windows bootloader but instead configure Grub to directly let me choose between the 2 Windows installations?
  2. Or as an alternative: could I by-pass Grub and include Mint into the Windows bootloader? What would I have to do to get rid of Grub and make the Windows B/L the prime one?

If I had the choice I'd prefer option 1

I've seen many descriptions dealing with older Windows versions, or a mix of Windows 10 with one or two older versions. But none seems to explain what I would like to get. Thanks for your ideas!

rEFInd

I have a MacBook, with triple efi boot, lnx, win, osx Monterrey and with full disk encryption, possibility to boot boot older bios USB disks also with disk encryption....

Note: turn off all efi secure boot when installing rEFInd and OS....after successful install...then install rEFInd again...then turn on disk encryption and then secure boot.

Meanwhile solved it in a different way by just putting the 2 Windows installs onto the internal SSD while installing Linux onto an exernal USB drive. Not quite as fast but much easier to handle
