(I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, so please move this topic if necessary)
I have recently upgraded my W8.1 installation (single-boot) to W10 through Windows Update. Up to this point, I have had no need to install any other operating system, but for reasons that could be expanded into a 90 minute rant on Sony Creative Software product trial periods, I have the need for a Linux distribution.
I have previous experience with Linux and dual-booting, but have been purposely avoiding the topic for this machine since I strongly dislike how GRUB looks and works, especially when compared to the W8 boot manager. However, I can no longer avoid the subject, but I refuse to settle for the unsightliness of GRUB.
I would love to use EasyBCD, but I'm not entirely confident in it's compatibility with W10. Of course, if it worked with W8, it probably should work with the new release of Windows, but considering how many things were changed under the hood in Windows 10, making such assumption would not be the wisest thing.
So I ask this: has anyone used EasyBCD on Windows 10 (post-installation) before, and how did it go? What, if anything, didn't work? Are there any precautions I should take when using EasyBCD?
Thanks,
Ben
