Re: Dual boot: one legacy, the other uefi

Now the system can boot both systems ok. But to choose which one you want,
you need to enter the BIOS, change legacy to UEFI, and vice-versa, then you
can boot.

Would you mind telling which systems boots in EFI mode and which one boots in legacy mode ?

Not a good way to keep.

Some people think otherwise. It is not the most convenient, but it prevents Windows to interfere with GRUB's operation.

Lets give the devices some names.

/dev/sda4 is windows 10
/dev/sda5 is debian buster 10
/dev/sda6 is swap

Grub is installed at sda5 with Debian, but when updated it doesn't
recognize A Windows partition.

Of course not. Both systems must be set up to boot in the same mode.

Can you point me to a possible howto, blog, set of instructions or even
abstract ideas that are in the right direction?

If Windows boots in EFI mode :
Mount the EFI partition on /boot/efi.
Install grub-efi-amd64.
Boot some Linux media in EFI mode.
Chroot into the Debian system, mount the usual pseudo-filesystems (/proc, /dev...) and the EFI partition.
Run grub-install.
Run update-grub.
Done.

If Windows boots in legacy mode :
Create a partition with "BIOS boot" type. 100 ko is more than enough.
Install grub-pc.
Done.
