Grub does not show up after installation

Hello,
I am trying to install grub but when I reboot grub is not in my bios

I installed  it with these commands

Grub-install —target=x86_64-efi —efi-directory=/boot/efi —bootloader-id=grub
Grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I had no errors while running these commands

Here are the outputs of the commands

(I can’t react immediately I need to go sleep and i have school tomorrow )

Re: Grub does not show up after installation

If you have a BIOS then you're using the wrong command...
Is this instead a UEFI capable machine (which has a UEFI firmware menu instead of a BIOS)?
If so then you might just have dodgy firmware which would mean installing grub to the fallback location...

Re: Grub does not show up after installation

yip and if the --removable flag doesnt work like on my toshiba laptop you have to put the efi file in

/boot/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

then it boots fine.

so for example:

mkdir -p /boot/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
cp /boot/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi /boot/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

obviously if your efi directory is different to mine then compensate for that!
