This was perfect. I was able to breeze through a Win 10/Debian 11 partition, install, and successful boot. Thanks much!

Hi there,

Thank you so much for this tutorial.

If I may ask, how do I undo the entire operation? In other words, when I boot up the system it goes straight to Windows like it did before?

Thanks

In reply to Omar. On some Laptops you need to press the boot key, and select Debian from the boot manager.

Thanks for this tutorial. I followed the carefully and got Debian 10 to install. Rebooted and booted into Debian Linux. Rebooted and hit ‘escape’ when window first opened and sat VERY TINY print “Press the up arrow and down arrow (don’t know how to type arrows) keys to delect shich entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the selected os, ‘e’ to edit the command or ‘c’ for a command line.
How do I get the initial window to stop to make a selection with hitting ‘escape’

I was able to successfully install two systems on one disk. Now I would like to encrypt the disk, I have TPM. Is it feasible or something can go wrong?

Thanks for the tutorial.
If the system uses UEFI, setup is much easier (the grub part will be omitted completely). A word of caution in case the Windows partition is BitLocker encrypted, when restarting Windows after installing Debian, the system will ask for the drive encryption recovery key before booting, make sure you save it (from Windows) before starting the Debian installation.

I don’t understand: it is supposed to be a dual boot; however a message from the installer is
“It seems that this new installation is the only operating system on this computer.”

Only OS on the computer? Is the installer message wrong, or is the Windows partition damaged?

I followed your instructions step by step, but unfortunately didn’t work for me,
Windows 10 still boot alone, I exactly don’t know the faults.

Windows 10 and Debian 10 those are new updated operating system in the market. If you want to dual boot in your system then I will aware that if your system is not highly configured then do not go for dual boot. Your system will be crashed.
