I followed arch wiki instructions and installed arch on windows 11 but apparently windows efi is removed and can't boot into windows...
how should I mount efi partition for dual boot up?

Re: dual boot up

This has nothing to do w/ where you mount what *now*

I followed arch wiki instructions and

Sure you didn't use archinstall?

Mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 somewhere and inspect its contents.

Are you looking for the windows installation in the UEFI boot menu or did you install and look at a bootloader (like grub or systemd-boot etc.)?

Re: dual boot up

unless the 1gb esp was done before install the loss of win boot data hints you deleted the existing 100mb win esp and created a new esp > you wiped the windows boot files
the 16mb ms reserved hints you used the normal windows installer - for a dual-boot I recommend unpacking windows by hand - ask google for "windows the arch way" by Chris Titus
