Hi all, in this video i will show how to install Arch Linux Dual Boot with Windows 10.

The bootloader utilized is Grub and boot mode is uefi.

The Arch Linux installation will be only the base system with network and bootloader.

I will use virtual machine, but the procedure is the same and it does not affect.

I hope you enjoy!
