I am trying to get dual-boot to work. I followed these instructions exactly: https://docs.kali.org/installation/dual-boot-kali-with-windows I have also tried manually setting up the partitions (i am using 30 GB, which should be enough)

I have an Acer Aspire E5-574 Laptop, which came with Windows 10 and UEFI, and when I run the install from my Live USB, everything seems to work fine, I set up a password, connect to an internet, and it says it is installing Grub, followed by a screen telling me to unplug the USB and restart to enter Kali linux. I do this, and the only option I get in the F12 boot menu is Windows Boot Manager. The Windows Boot Manager only lets me select either Windows 10 or Memory Diagnostics.

Am I missing something obvious?

  • Did you boot into UEFI for the installation?

  • @Hunter.S.Thompson I am not sure what you mean. I inserted the USB, pressed F12 and selected "USB 32 GB lexer drive"

  • @Hunter.S.Thompson I tried it again, this time doing it from the Windows 10 UEFI menu (accessed by holding shift and pressing restart before logging in). Same results.

  • Are you booting it in UEFI or Legacy in BIOS? Go to your UEFI settings and see what mode is enabled?

Windows is not seeing GRUB and it appears that this is a known issue on ACER laptops with Windows 10, rather than a Linux/Kali one.

Try THIS fix or web search the appropriate equivalent for your BIOS/firmware version.
