After install of F32 from USB - can't boot UEFI Windows 10

Ask Fedora

Your outputs support the hypothesis (quoted). So you need to reinstall Fedora (don’t worry about Windows, its safe in there waiting). Whatever you do, make sure you do not format sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4. DON’T … those partitions affect Windows and how your system boots.

  1. Go to BIOS and make sure your PC boots in UEFI mode first.
  2. Insert a Fedora installation media (CD/DVD/USB) and boot in UEFI mode
  3. Choose sda drive in the Graphical Installation environment (Anaconda) – usually the first drive
  4. You may want to use blivet for configuring the partitions
  5. Delete partitions sda5, sda6, and sda7 (assuming you have not saved anything in your previous Fedora installation)
  6. Repartition as follows = sda5 (1Gb), sda6 (whatever is left)
  7. Set mount point for sda1 to /boot/efi … DO NOT FORMAT THIS PARTITION – Only set the mount point
  8. Set mount point for sda5 to /boot
  9. You can split sda6 the way you did before (LVM).
  10. Accept the partitioning scheme and confirm that the installer does not complain about any missing/required mount points.
  11. Run the installation

If everything goes well … you should see a GRUB when you reboot the system. You should be able to select Windows or Fedora there.

How did it go?
