#3. Prepare Windows 10

I will shrink 30 Gb off disk space to install EndeavourOS.

#4. Install EndeavourOS

I will change the resolution here because i am virtual machine.

This first partition is very important! This EFI windows partition, we will use as efi on EndeavourOS.

So, you need edit and set the mounpoint to /boot/efi.

I will create here two partitions. One swap with 2Gb and the root mountpoint with remaning space.

Please, now you need be patient! Because EndeavourOS is rolling release and you will have the latests versions off kernel release, applications and the core off system retrieved from the repositories.

#5. Grub detect Windows 10

By default now the grub not detect windows partitions. I will make now how to dual boot with Windows 10.

$ sudo pacman -Syu
$ sudo pacman -S os-prober vim

Edit /etc/default/grub and put the following line at the end of the file.

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

Type in terminal:

$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  1. Finish
