[SOLVED]where do i mount windows 10 efi partiton

Oblivion7 · 2015-09-01 21:39:37

Ok so im in the process of installing arch with windows 10 (already installed) now im at the mounting part but i noticed my boot partiton should go to /mnt/boot. And from what i have seen people say the efi system partiton should mount at /mnt/boot now some say /mnt/boot/efi works also but its not as good. So yeah im confused. (im gonna use rEFInd )

I'm not familiar with refind, but in most cases you should not have separate efi and boot partitions: the efi partition *is* your boot partition. So, provided there is room remaining on the windows efi, that should be mounted at /mnt/boot.

Did you really mean "tired" or is that a typo?

Right on, I was going both ways on it: it was either a typo or you were going full meta and intentionally doing it.

I'm running Windows 10 on the machine I'm currently at, considering a dual-boot for it because it has good hardware.. My other machine only runs Arch and it has decent hardware but not as good as this one..

I usually am not nervous when I install arch but I have never had good experiences with installing arch alongside any version of windows and I wanted to setup lvm (which I have never attempted) and i have never used rEFInd so i was kinda expecting my pc to go all supernova on me but in the end it worked and that's all that matters!
