📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to boot Linux Mint 18 from the Windows Boot Manager in a UEFI dual-boot setup, with the original poster wanting to avoid using GRUB as the primary boot loader. Several suggestions are offered, including using tools like EasyUEFI or UEFIEdit, and attempting to configure BCDedit commands, but difficulties arise, particularly with loading GRUB. An overall consensus indicates that while it’s challenging to replace GRUB entirely with Windows Boot Manager in UEFI mode, using EasyBCD to add Linux as an entry might be a practical solution, though the original poster prefers not to use GRUB directly.

I have dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint 18 in UEFI mode. I don't want to use GRUB (but I don't want to delete grub). I want to use Windows boot manager. I set Windows boot manager as first boot device in BIOS and I want to add new entry to windows 10 boot loader to boot into Linux.
EasyBCD can't do this because I am in UEFI mode. I installed GRUB in EFI partition.

How to do this?

Hi again, ss1018:
Sorry we haven't been able to help you.🙁 I think Mike may have missed the posts by nmsuk about needing that other program, the EasyUEFI, to work on newer UEFI BIOS-based computers. I plan on doing some research on it further; but we don't have anyone here at the moment who can solve it for you. Perhaps you can vote to form a new sub-forum called DUAL-BOOT OS. We've needed one for a few years now, as these types of questions are coming up more and more. You can send a message to any of our admins such as kemical or nmsuk and suggest it.

Keep us posted on your progress; or please post back if you find a solution and share it with the rest of our forum Users!🙂
