CentOS, just like most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk drive with just about any version of Windows up to and including Windows 7. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up your PC you will be presented with a menu providing the option to boot either CentOS or Windows.

Hello everyone!
As the title suggests I would like to dual boot centos 7 and windows. I recently purchased a Razer Blade Stealth (https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-stealth#tech_spec) and would wish to add centos to it.

Why Centos? Where I work, commercial studio, we use programs like Maya and other autodesk apps. And I work a lot with python and spend most of my time coding, so I like to be able to mimic my work environment as much as possible. And since Maya(my main app where I work) officially supports it, I imagine I would have the easiest time supporting it there.

My situation - I am coming from Mac and havent played with Linux(outside of work) for a long time and even longer for windows. I have tried installing centos on my laptop but grub never picks up my window partition. At first I thought this was due to ntfs at the time of install, but after looking into more I find that EFI and GPT partition from w10 is also in my way. Now this is a new laptop that I have spend any time setting up that I wouldnt be ok wiping it.
So I wanted to ask about any guidance on the matter, other peoples experiences or if such is even possible because of XYZ.
I am going to try and reinstall windows via MBR, and then disable the UEFI in my razer so that centos/grub can pick up my install.
Centos Windows 10 Dual Boot Linux
tl:dr - Windows 10 and Cent 0s7 HALP -reinstall W10 with MBR(non gpt) -disable (U)EFI for legacy bios -install centos -install ntfs -hopefully grub works.
Thoughts? and thank you!

Multi Boot Manager Windows 10
Hey guys,
I'm quite new to the process of setting up linux installations (especially configured as dual boot). I try to set it up on my Vaio Pro 13 via usb install medium. Basically, I've tried two approaches so far: 1. http://www.tecmint.com/install-centos-7-dual-boot-with-windows-8-uefi-firmware/ Summation: run live usb-stick, create partitioning on my own, result in two efi-boot-partitions. 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QzbX8o7pSY Summation: run live-usb-stick, create partitioning on my own, but select former windows efi-boot-partition and mount it under /boot/efi The first try left me with a functioning CentOs, but it killed my windows boot entry. Trying to configure a custom boot entry for windows like in the link described or using grub2-probe failed. The second version ran as smoothly, but after reboot it directly started windows again. I could not get CentOs to run by editing the boot-load with EasyBCD. As I'm trying for a while, there are a few threads I read, and things that might be important: during installation of CentOs I were not able to decide where the bootloader should go to (at least I think so). Furthermore, although I was able to mount the windows partition in (1), I wasn't able to recreate the boot entry. I hope for some new directions (or old ones, if you have an indicator what I might have done wrong), as I'd like to get the dual boot to run quite soon. If I missed any information, please ask, and I'll attach it! Greetings Comments are closed.
