- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- Linux Mint 20 is here, and I've decided to create an (updated) video to show you how to set up a dual-boot with Linux Mint and Windows 10. Same procedure as last time, but updated for the new release. This video assumes that you already have Windows 10 installed, and that you've backed up your data in case.

Just what I would love to see, you post it! Why didn't I discover this channel earlier. Best host i've seen so far, not exaggerating
@bruNO well said.
Many thanks, bro.
I was facing serious problems to keep both and your step-by-step helped me a lot.
Wow! This is amazing, I just followed the steps and it was as easy as you explained. Thank you, sir.
Straight to the point. Thank you so much for making this video!!
Awesome! This is what I call a clear and crisp, up to the point instruction video. No ambiguities whatever. Loved it so much. Many thanks for making it dear friend. Much love. Good luck and cheers! 😊👍
Did Linux mint booted with this cause other videos are saying to shrink and all please tell me I'm new here, should I follow this guide?
@@kartikkhandelwal1367 if you have an external hard disk u can choose ur hard disk but in windows 10 u wont see ur hard disk
Exceptional explanation for any level of intuition, thank you very much for this good contribution!
Hola pudiste instalar win7 en uefi gpt??
Excellent video, you speak clearly and the content is spot on, I appreciate that you fast forward the downloads and installations, Very well done, Thank You. Now wish me luck :-)
Great! It's years since I dual booted Windows with Linux. This was a great refresher for me, many thanks 👍👍👍☮☮☮
Target is not selecting. How to select
Clear and very easy! Thank you very much for this video!
Thank you. Succinct and wonderfully described. I am encouraged to give it a try as abandoned Windows some years ago but have limited need for Windows OS now.
This is the most comprehensive tutorial I've ever seen.
Best video I've found on LM/Win10 dual-boot! Thanks for making it.
Perfect. I struggled for an hour before finding your video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot bro I managed to install both windows and linux mint 20 on my portable external hard drive. Now I'm able to dual boot both of my laptop's from my external hard drive after watching your video...
Exactly what I was looking for - Excellent
Great clear explanation! I have been using Mint on one of my laptops but am purchasing another and i may do the dual boot giving Windows a small % of space! I find Mint does everything i need and is not sluggish like Windows.
Wow! This is amazing, I just followed the steps and it was as easy as you explained. Thank you, Jay.
My pleasure!
Thanks a bunch. Very helpful. No hassle!
Very good and simple... will do it on a 240gb ssd. Thanks for keeping it simple!
Thanks for an excellent tutorial. It got my up and dual booting in next to no time.
I just got confused at one point because I'd already created a partition for Linux via Windows disk manager. I also had a second drive, with several partitions, in my computer. As a result, the instraller didn't give me options about where to install Linux, except unsder "other," which confused the heck out of me..
So, I turned off the computer, temporarily disconnected my second drive then used Windows to expand the primary partition to fill the whole remaining drive. I then re-ran the Linux installer and everything went just as you show in your video.
Thanks again!
Same here. Creating a partition for Linux is better to avoid bugs since this "side to side" installation could generate GRUB errors occasionally. But I still struggling with the partition 😬😐
Excellent video, thank you. This is exactly what I am trying to do.
Great job. I setting my windows laptop to do the same and just wanted to be sure I didn't mess it up. Thank you,
Excellent tutorial!
Very clear, thanks for the video.
Thank you so much!
Really good tech!!
Great video, worked like a charm.
Thank you.
worked like a charm! ty for the tutorial !
Thank you, just the video I needed to see.
Thanks Man, this was clearly explained, and it worked!
Target is not selecting
Very well explained. Thanks

Thank you for skipping to the useful lart
Thanks.
Very hepful !! Thank you very much for sharing this for us
Thanks man this was to the point and efficient, best
Thank you for the simple video explanation.
Process is explained in intelligible ,clear unaccented English ,thank you so much!
Holy shit dude thank you I don't normally put comments on videos but yours really deserves it! It really helped me out a whole lot! I was not able to figure this out until I watched your video so thank you so much!
thanks for your guide, really helped, I liked your talking style/accent, good luck :)

I had to learn to update my old Dell's bios and then this worked perfectly, my first dip into the Linux pool, thanks!
hi there i have a dell studio 1555 on win 10. do i need to update or change any bios settings to install this. updater says latest bios already installed
@@flyhigh5066 probably not
best linux tutor ,you made it so easy for me
Good work. Thank you!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks a lot!
Best video for dual boot installation of windows and mint. I wish I had checked this video first. I used another guide to install and ended up with strange partitions and a boot drive that was way too small. Don't bother with any of that noise on your first linux install, it serves no purpose. This is the way to go and thank-you for making this video. All things considered I could have done this entirely on my own as it is so simple but it was nice to have someone confirm it before taking the plunge.
great tutorial, very good explanation
Great, helpful video!!! Thanks!
I had WiFi issues with every other distro but mint fixed that :). Chose I am going to install it but I forgot how as I have not done it for a few months. This video helps Alot. Thabks
Thanks you sooo much , it really helped me out
Great video. Straight to the point. Just wondering how you are doing your video capture? Especially when rebooting? Thanks!
I would assume he's using a capture card
Brilliant! Very helpful!
I did this on Windows 11 right now, still works!
Thanks for this tutorial, I subscribed(:
Thanks so much! Trying out linux for the first to see if i like it and if i dont i still got windows
Great Work Bro Thank you
Thanks! Great tutorial!
Nicely Explained process Automatically picked the hard disk unformatted part 50GB I had left on SSD. for Linux mint after installing windows.
Was having some trouble, saw this video then I realized I downloaded a separate fork, probably university made. Felt stupid, but you made it right lol. Got it installed on my laptop alongside windows and I've been enjoying the lightweight aspect of mint. I know it's not the lightest option but it's way less resource hungry than windows, it really stretches battery life.
Very user friendly and would recommend anyone to try mint as a windows alternative to slowly introduce yourself to Linux.
Thank you for this!
Thank you very much for your guide. Is there a way to take a backup image of the ssd with the 2 operating systems for later restoring? is there a freeware software to do it?
Great video. Thanks a lot
Fantastic job 👌
Perfect. Thank you.
Works like a charm!
Really it's works .. Awesome job.
Super instructional video - thank you. Also, would like to see Pi-Hole used on this Linux Mint OS,
Thank you from France
Sweet! Thank you
linux mint or any other distro should be installed in a separate ssd along with the boot loader. That way it will be completely independent. Though you will need to either use bios boot device menu, or change the boot device priority to be able to boot in linux mint.
I agree with that, but then you need two SSD drives in your laptop. In most consumer laptops you can install only one drive.
Awesome shirt and great tutorial!
I'm going to try it now. I installed Linux a few years back and I wasn't ready for it. This seems like a great way to become comfortable with Linux while having a bit of a safety net with Windows.
@Hans Hiden In the end I succeeded. I don't fault the video at all. I had to look up how to enter boot mode on my Huawei, I also had to watch another video because my laptop did not create a new partition. Once I learned how to create space on my hard drive, when to insert my USB and the trick of reachicng the boot screen - success. A little extra effort was worth it. Good luck
Is there a way to set this dual boot up so that each system can share files? If so could you make a video about it? I've seen it demonstrated using Vertual Box but I haven't seen it done with dual boot.
Linux can see and access the files on the windows partition, whereas Windows won't even realise the Linux partition is there and can't read the Linux Ext4 file system.
Thus you can share files if you keep them on the windows partition. A much better alternative is to install linux, and then run windows as a virtual machine inside linux. It may seem intimidating but some good vids here (look up installing Windows 10 on virtualbox).
With this method you can actually RUN Linux and windows simultaneously. Also you can easily create shared folders which work bidirectional ly
It worked perfectly
Did this for a dual boot of Win7 and Mint 19.2, but messed with the partions and messed up Windows, so I had to wipe and install Mint. Don't really regret it, but there were a couple windows programs I wished I still had access to. Just watched your Mint 20 update for doing mine later this week.
Super , very good !
Thank you!
Thx for the video. Does this dual boot method slow down the processor - or would my windows sessions run almost as quickly after installing Linux mint as dual boot?
Many thanks!
One question.
I have my Windows installed on the HDD and want to install linux mint on SDD.
Will the process be the same as shown in the video?
My probelm is that the option for dual installation doesn't even exist for me, only erasing everything, or doing something else
Same here...
Same
Same here. It is precisely because of such problems that linux is not popular...
If you have windows installed only on one partition, then go to diskmgmt and create another partition.
Also before installation, select the non-uefi version of the usb drive in the boot menu.
@@MdHaroonAhmedKhan I think you may have just answered my question! So I shrink the existing partition to make room for linux. Do I have to make another partition in that free space or will linux install in the free space without making another partition?
Hi, not really a question on dual booting, but rather how does one remove Linux mint system from laptop/(mini)notebook and install windows 10 instead?
That was excellent. Professionally done. I look forward to doing it. You have assumed that we all know how to make an image of Windows. I looked that up and will find a spare drive to hold the backup. I have a spare drive within my desktop computer set aside for Linux OS, so I should be able to install it on to that drive. Can the GRUB menu be edited? I would like to put Windows at the top and Linux as no 2. I will be using Linux just to play around with.
Thanks for your work!
Can you please make a video about creating a dualboot manualy like the one on POPos without the black selection screen on the boot of the pc?!
Thanks!
Amazing!❤️
A good video. Thank you.
Is there a graphical dual boot manager? Can you recommend one?
Thanks again.
That's GRUB menu (packaged with Linux mint), the graphical one is called windows metro boot loader. As when you install linux mint, the linux starts booting and it starts the GRUB menu which is not graphical. I suggest you not to fell in love with fancy things because first windows graphical boot loader takes time at startup and second that is not that much important as the both do same work.
Thank you!!!
Thank you Jay! However, I'm concerned with the "Something Else" option, because I'd like to know if the partition is a Primary or a Logical! Anyhow, your explanation is excellent, but would like you to make one with the Something Else" option please?
Mine isn't showing me the boot alonside windows option. I can't figure out how to resize the partition using the something else option.
@@imperfectaugur2513 DOT NOT FOLLOW THIS METHOD, IT WILL BRICK YOUR MACHINE. IT JUST DID TO MINE
@@budexlexxy9319 It will only brick your machine if you don't understand how partitions work. That options requires a bit of technical knowledge, which is quite risky.
Hey! I have the same exact lamp you have!
Thanks!
Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful. Can you direct me what to do if after installing Linux Mint 20.1 - Windows 10 does not boot? I use mainly Linux but I wanted to have Windows 10 just in case I need to use some of the Windows apps. Many thanks.
Thank you 🇬🇧 🙏
Hello new to your channel. Excellent install instructions. Very easy to follow with very little side trips
Windows user trying something new here. Just installed to A SD card to try. Thank you. Quick question when I download packages and applications does it install them also on the SD card?
Great videos. Thanks so much. Following this video and other of you I was able to make the dual boot Win10/Linux Mint without issues. Only one question. Is there a way or do you have a video in how to change the order of boot menu? I'd like to have Windows 10 as first option and now is Linux Mint the first one. Thanks
You can go into bootmenu by pressing f12 while your computer is booting or whichever key is allocated for that purpose and go into bois settings and change the order from there
My computer has two hard disks one with Windows10 installed and the other pre-installed with Linux mint, I use the "F8" key for the boot menu every time if I need to switch to Linux otherwise it will boot to wind10 but I want Linux or Windows 10 to be my primary syatem, I don't want to use the P8 key every time.
Mate. Thank you.
Could you please tell me, what will happen to swap and home partition cause we hadn't defined that while installing.
I'm running Win 10 and Mint 19.3. I always freak out when I upgrade. Tell me, please, how to over-write 19.3 with 20.1. Do I delete the Linux partitions, to make 1 partition to install 20? Thanks! Very good, clear tutorial, except for this one question.
Yes, as i know there is direct over-write function. I think it will keep the files of your previous version, but i'm absolutely not sure about this. But maybe you already done this because your comment is from 8 month, but who knows
Excellent video. The Linux Mint install is perfect. Trying to download a Microsoft Windows that is not corrupted by the time you start Etcher is seemingly impossible! Do they (Microsoft) prefer that we purchase Windows 10 from Amazon or some other vendor?
Thanks 🙏
As an Aerospace engineer, I cannot thank you enough, Your video's helped me a lot throughout my job
Superb
Hey, Thank you for this, sure looks doable.
One thing that I felt like I didn't understand - can you access all the files from both Linux and Windows?
If not, would that be possible in any other way?
As far as I know the systems can't access eachother's files
You can access your Windows files from Linux Mint, but you can't access your Linux files from Windows 10. I save downloads to my windows downloads, video and picture files all the time. But it can't be done the other way.
@@terryh9721 It can. You will need a separate partition formatted as FAT32. Both operating systems can access FAT32. I have a 500G drive that stores all my files that I need to share between both, like documents, music, videos and pictures
is it possible to install, e.g., five different Linux distros to compare/try them out - with any sharing of resources/drive space, or would each distro require quite a bit of disk space/resources, thereby limiting the practicality to only 2 or 3?
