[SOLVED] EFI System Partition doesn't shown

I want to boot Arch using systemd-boot.
If I got it right, I need mount my EFI System Partition to /mnt/boot.
But when I type "fdisk -l" or "gdisk -l /dev/sda" I haven't any partition with name contains "EFI".
But "efivar -l" shows all variables.
I want setup dual boot with Windows 10 pre-installed

gdisk -l /dev/sda

The Windows system was installed in non-UEFI mode and you have an msdos ("MBR" type) partition table on your hard drive.

I would recommend installing Arch in non-UEFI mode (see the wiki for details) but it may be possible to add an EFI system partition (using fdisk or parted) and boot Arch in UEFI mode, the firmware could then be used to toggle the operating systems.
