Dual-boot |CL-ATTR| and Windows\* 10 OS
########################################
This guide shows how to install |CL-ATTR| adjacent to an existing Windows\*
10 :abbr:`OS (operating system)`. To add |CL| to an existing Windows installation, follow a method below.
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 1
Description
***********
In this tutorial you'll :ref:`bare-metal-install-desktop` as
an additional partition. Alternatively, you may also
:ref:`bare-metal-install-server`.
Method 1: Shrink Windows partition and install |CL|
***************************************************
For this method, we shrink the Windows 10 OS partition to make space for |CL|.
#. Boot up the Windows 10 OS.
#. Launch the :file:`Disk Management` utility found under
:guilabel:`Create and format hard disk partitions`.
#. Right-click the primary Windows partition and select :guilabel:`Shrink Volume...`.
.. figure:: ../../_figures/multi-boot/dual-boot-win-01.png

:alt: Disk Management > Shrink Volume
Figure 1: Disk Management > Shrink Volume.
#. Shrink the size of the partition by at least the following amount:
* For :ref:`installing the live desktop <bare-metal-install-desktop>`,
allow at least 21GB.
* For :ref:`installing the live server <bare-metal-install-server>`,
allow at least 4GB.
#. We shrink C by about 21 GB, as shown in Figure 2.
.. figure:: ../../_figures/multi-boot/dual-boot-win-02.png
:width: 80%
:alt: Shrink C
Figure 2: Shrink C.
#. Shutdown the Windows 10 OS.
#. Follow the instructions to :ref:`bare-metal-install-desktop`.
#. After booting from the |CL| image, select the icon to
launch the installer.
#. Click :guilabel:`Select Installation Media`.
#. Select :guilabel:`Safe Installation`.
#. Go through the remaining steps to install |CL|.
#. Shut down your system and remove the USB.
#. Reboot.
#. During the BIOS POST stage, press :kbd:`F10`, or the proper F-key for your
system, to launch the :guilabel:`Boot Menu`.
.. figure:: ../../_figures/multi-boot/dual-boot-win-03.png

:alt: Boot menu
Figure 3: Boot menu
#. In the :guilabel:`Boot Menu`, use the arrow to select the
:guilabel:`OS bootloader` as boot device (highlighted).
Some BIOSes do not support listing multiple partitions. In this case,
it will only show one bootable partition.
.. tip::
If you don't want to use the BIOS boot menu each time to select an OS,
follow :ref:`Advanced: Use systemd-boot to boot Windows 10 OS and |CL| <advanced-systemd-boot>`.
Method 2: Add another hard disk to your system where you install |CL|
*********************************************************************
#. Shutdown your system.
#. Open your system and attach another hard drive.
#. Power up your system.
#. Follow the instructions in :ref:`bare-metal-install-desktop`, and launch
the |CL| installer.
#. In the :guilabel:`Required options` tab, choose :guilabel:`Select
Installation Media`.
#. Within that menu, select :guilabel:`Destructive Installation`, and
select the new hard drive from the device list.
.. note::
Make sure you don’t select the drive with your Windows 10 OS.
#. Go through remaining steps to complete the installation.
#. Reboot.
#. During the BIOS POST stage, press :kbd:`F10`, or the proper F-key for your
system, to launch the :guilabel:`Boot Menu`.
.. figure:: ../../_figures/multi-boot/dual-boot-win-03.png

Figure 4: Boot menu
#. In the :guilabel:`Boot Menu`, use the arrow to select the
:guilabel:`Linux bootloader` as boot device.
Some BIOSes do not support listing multiple partitions. In this case,
it will only show one bootable partition.
.. tip::
If you don't want to use the BIOS boot menu each time to select an OS,
follow the next section.
.. _advanced-systemd-boot:
Advanced: Use systemd-boot to boot Windows 10 OS and |CL|
*********************************************************
If you prefer not to use your BIOS to load the :guilabel:`Boot Menu` and select an OS to boot, you can make :command: `systemd-boot` the default bootloader and add Windows 10 OS to the boot list. This option is also a workaround for BIOSes that don’t support booting more than one partition.
#. Boot up the |CL| installer.
#. Open a Terminal window and enter:
.. code-block:: bash
lsblk
#. Example output:
.. code-block:: console
clrlinux@clr-live~ $ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

└─sdb2 8:18 1 100M 0 part
#. The example output shows:
* /dev/sda2 is the EFI system partition created by Windows
* /dev/sda4 is the primary Windows partition
* /dev/sda5 is the EFI system partition created by Clear Linux
* /dev/sda7 is the Clear Linux root partition
#. Create mount points.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mkdir /mnt/windows-efi
sudo mkdir /mnt/clearlinux
#. Mount the EFI system partition for Windows 10 OS.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows-efi
#. Mount the |CL| root partition and its EFI system partition.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/clearlinux
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/clearlinux/boot
#. Copy Windows 10 OS bootloader, and other data needed to boot it, to the
|CL| EFI system partition.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo cp -r /mnt/windows-efi/EFI/Microsoft/ /mnt/clearlinux/boot/EFI/
#. Make :command:`systemd-boot` the default bootloader and add Windows 10
OS Boot Manager.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo bootctl install --esp-path=/mnt/clearlinux/boot
#. Add a timeout value to the :command:`systemd-boot`. This allows enough
time for you to select your preferred OS from the menu.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 20 --path=/mnt/clearlinux
sudo clr-boot-manager update --path=/mnt/clearlinux
#. Umount all partitions.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo umount /mnt/windows-efi /mnt/clearlinux/boot /mnt/clearlinux
#. Reboot
.. code-block:: bash
sudo reboot
#. Remove the |CL| installer USB thumb drive.
#. You should be presented with the :command:`systemd-boot` menu, as shown
below.
