I'm reading in Linux groups that a system that's upgraded to Win 10 will not dual boot with Linux. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?
Thanks.

I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

It was possible with the tech preview

But having Windows 10 on your computer may well lead to that Linux get fubared later on since it can "flash the BIOS" during regular update.
Windows 10 is a remote control OS (if that is a Microsoft strategy or a NSA "request" is hard to say).
Microsoft loves Linux now so maybe asking them can help...

I think before I upgrade I'm also going to make a boot disk .iso... I have a proggie that will do it but I have to figure which files I want to include and which files in general I use, where they're located, etc.
It's been way too long for me to remember this stuff...since '98-'99...
Let's just hope your link works for Arch.
I'm assuming either we haz no scandisk & defrag in 8.1 or 10, either that or they're hiding from me. I'm really hating 8.1. I can't find shit on it. I love the computer, but despise the OS.

Everybody hates Windows 8.
You can defrag but you need to be administrator. I think right-clicking "Computer" can get you there. Or in Win 8 you need to do it with explorer.

Re: Dual boot Win 10 and Linux?
Thanks. I know that and a scandisk should be done first, before one dual boots.
There's only two admins on this machine, and that's dedanna1029 and her roomie (and she's just there to help me if I need it. She's very Win literate, and some on Linux).

You can still activate the standard Windows administrator account like this:

Re: Dual boot Win 10 and Linux?
LMAO the first one. It might be worth doing this just so I can damage it! Yeah, make the 8.1 install media, then upgrade to 10, activate the standard Windows administrator, and hack away - make it unusable. Do it while I'm still relearning stuff, that should make it even better! Hahahahahaaaaaa! The damage will be obscene, and way too funny!
It will give me a great excuse to wipe Windows altogether!
I loved this line when you put up the post. Just didn't put it together with this at the time:
