I have a windows work computer, a Dell Inspiron 27 7720 All-in-One. I am trying to set up a dual-boot system, but when I change the BIOS security settings to enable running Linux, then Windows won’t run. When I re-enable it, It hangs at the grub prompt. Has anyone else run into this?
The BIOS is far more detailed than most machines I used in the past, so I’m not sure if there are specific settings that would work. I’m looking to install Zorin, which is based on Ubuntu. Would a different distro/bootloader have a better outcome?
Sounds like you’re talking about the Secure boot setting. Windows needs it on to boot and Linux needs it off to boot. Alternatively you can look into MOK to enroll your Linux partition.
