Centos Windows 10 Dual Boot
Be sure to set your PC to boot from your installation media from the BIOS options and save the changes. Installing CentOS 7 Alongside Windows 10 Dual Boot. Upon rebooting, the first screen presents you with a list of choices to choose from. Select the first option “Install CentOS 7” to begin the installation process. Anyways, about your questions. So in my experience Windows doesn't dual-boot very well. For example your Windows boot won't let you suspend the laptop for low power, and that's a feature anytime their boot path is handled by say: grub2 menu boot. I've had some drama with windows updates clobbering the boot partition.
Hello everyone!
As the title suggests I would like to dual boot centos 7 and windows. I recently purchased a Razer Blade Stealth (https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-stealth#tech_spec) and would wish to add centos to it.
Why Centos? Where I work, commercial studio, we use programs like Maya and other autodesk apps. And I work a lot with python and spend most of my time coding, so I like to be able to mimic my work environment as much as possible. And since Maya(my main app where I work) officially supports it, I imagine I would have the easiest time supporting it there.
My situation - I am coming from Mac and havent played with Linux(outside of work) for a long time and even longer for windows. I have tried installing centos on my laptop but grub never picks up my window partition. At first I thought this was due to ntfs at the time of install, but after looking into more I find that EFI and GPT partition from w10 is also in my way. Now this is a new laptop that I have spend any time setting up that I wouldnt be ok wiping it.
So I wanted to ask about any guidance on the matter, other peoples experiences or if such is even possible because of XYZ.
I am going to try and reinstall windows via MBR, and then disable the UEFI in my razer so that centos/grub can pick up my install.

tl:dr - Windows 10 and Cent 0s7 HALP -reinstall W10 with MBR(non gpt) -disable (U)EFI for legacy bios -install centos -install ntfs -hopefully grub works.
