Manjaro dual boot windows 10

Manjaro Linux — один из самых быстрорастущих дистрибутивов Linux, производных от Arch Linux. Arch Linux известен своей надежной производительностью и превосходными легковесными функциями управления.

Однако Arch Linux — не лучший дистрибутив Linux для новичков. Чтобы сделать что-то, нужно часто заходить в командную строку. Вот где и заполняет Manjaro Linux.

Поскольку это дополнительный продукт Arch Linux, вы получите не только все надежные функции Arch Linux, но и интуитивно понятный пользовательский интерфейс, удобный для новичков. В этой статье мы расскажем, как установить Manjaro в конфигурации с двойной загрузкой вместе с операционной системой Microsoft Windows 10.

Создание установочного диска / USB-накопителя Manjaro Linux

У вас должен быть чистый USB-накопитель объемом не менее 2 ГБ. Я не рекомендую использовать более 8 ГБ, так как не многие компьютеры смогут с ним загрузиться. В качестве альтернативы вы все равно можете использовать DVD вместо USB-накопителя, если у вас есть встроенный DVD-плеер на вашем ПК.

Шаг 1) Загрузите ISO-образы Manjaro Linux по ссылке ниже. Вы должны увидеть несколько редакций Manjaro, включая XFCE, GNOME и KDE. Каждый — это разные вкусы Манджаро, и у каждого есть свои плюсы и минусы. XFCE — самый легкий из трех, но GNOME наиболее удобен для пользователя, но немного требует аппаратных ресурсов. Выбор за вами. В моем случае я выбрал версию GNOME для иллюстрации в этой статье.

Скачать Manjaro Linux

Перейдите к нашему пошаговому руководству о том, как создать Manjaro Live USB-накопитель и вернуться с Live USB-накопителем / DVD. Он также будет служить установочным носителем.

Создание разделов жесткого диска в Windows

Обратите внимание: если вы уже создали разделы жесткого диска для Manjaro, вы можете пропустить этот раздел.

В этом разделе мы создадим раздел на существующем жестком диске Windows. Вам нужно решить, сколько места на жестком диске вы хотите оставить для вашей Windows и сколько вы хотите выделить для Manjaro.

Шаг 1) Войдите в Windows и запустите «Управление дисками», которое является встроенным в Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 и 10. Если вы хотите использовать другие программы, вы можете их использовать.

Шаг 2) Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши жесткий диск, который вы хотите разделить, и выберите «Сжать том.«Уменьшая размер, вы уменьшаете размер раздела Windows и освобождаете место для Linux.  На моем тестовом ПК 49.Емкость жесткого диска 5 ГБ, на котором должна быть установлена ​​Windows 10. Я планирую создать раздел 28 ГБ для установки Manjaro, а оставшиеся 21 оставить.5 ГБ для Windows.

После того, как я уменьшу размер, Windows создаст новый раздел, но это формат RAW, и он не будет распознан как диск. Мы рекомендуем оставить его нетронутым, чтобы вы могли быстро определить раздел при установке Manjaro.

Установка Manjaro Linux с двойной загрузкой с Windows

Шаг 1) Вставьте USB-диск Manjaro Live или DVD-диск и загрузите в него компьютер. Обратите внимание, что способ загрузки с USB-накопителя зависит от производителя ПК и конфигурации BIOS.

Большинство ПК загружаются в загрузчик при непрерывном нажатии клавиши F12 после включения питания. Обязательно включите загрузку в режиме UEFI для запуска Linux вместе с Windows.

Шаг 2) Установите предпочтительный язык и нажмите «Далее».’

Шаг 4) Выберите стиль клавиатуры.

Шаг 5) Установщик Manjaro предлагает три варианта. Для двойной загрузки с Windows или любой другой ОС вы должны выбрать «Ручное разбиение на разделы» и нажать «Далее».’

Шаг 6) На этом шаге вы увидите текущие разделы жесткого диска на вашем ПК. Выберите «Свободное место» и нажмите «Создать».’

Шаг 7) Это раздел, в который должны быть установлены системные файлы Manjaro. Уменьшите его размер на размер больше, чем размер оперативной памяти вашего компьютера. Например, если у вас 4 ГБ ОЗУ, вы можете уменьшить размер как минимум на 5 ГБ или, если у вас достаточно места на жестком диске, удвойте ОЗУ. Уменьшенная область автоматически создаст еще один раздел, который используется для SWAP. Linux использует SWAP, когда вы переводите компьютер в спящий режим. Убедитесь, что файловая система — ext4, а точка монтирования — /. Затем нажмите «ОК».’

Шаг Теперь вы увидите еще одно созданное свободное пространство. Назначим это как SWAP.  Для этого выберите «Свободное место» и нажмите «Создать.’

Шаг 9) Выберите «Файловая система» как «linuxswap».’Выберите’ Флаги ‘как’ поменять местами ‘и нажмите’ ОК ‘.’

Шаг 10) На данный момент Manjaro все еще показывает предварительный просмотр, а разделы жесткого диска еще не изменены. Не стесняйтесь использовать кнопку «назад», если считаете, что вам нужно что-то отредактировать. Нажмите «Далее.’

Шаг 11) Введите данные профиля пользователя, такие как имя пользователя, имя компьютера и пароль. При желании вы можете выбрать вариант «Использовать тот же пароль для учетной записи администратора», если вы являетесь владельцем ПК. Нажмите «Далее.’

Шаг 12) Вы найдете еще один обзор того, что произойдет с вашим компьютером. Нажмите «Далее.’

Шаг 13) Еще одно окончательное подтверждение. После того, как вы нажмете «Установить сейчас», пути назад не будет.

Шаг 14) Manjaro будет установлен на ваш компьютер. Если все прошло хорошо, вы должны увидеть диалоговое окно «Все готово». Извлеките флешку / DVD из системы. Установите флажок «Перезагрузить сейчас» и нажмите «Готово».’

Шаг 15) Теперь вы должны увидеть экран загрузчика Manjaro GRUB с несколькими вариантами загрузки. Используйте клавиши со стрелками вверх и вниз на клавиатуре, чтобы выбрать ОС, в которую хотите загрузиться, и нажмите Enter.

Наслаждайтесь Manjaro Linux!

Manjaro is a desktop Linux distribution that’s based on Arch Linux. In this article, you’ll learn how to install it alongside Windows 10 on a computer with UEFI firmware and a single hard drive. In other words, this article shows how to dual-boot Manjaro Linux and Windows 10 on a computer with UEFI firmware.

At the end, GRUB, the Manjaro boot manager/boot loader, will be the default boot manager of the computer, which will give you the option of booting into Manjaro or Windows 10 whenever you (re)boot the computer.

First Step – Get Your Windows 10 Computer Ready

1. For a pain-free and successful operation of the sort that, it is recommended that you disable Secure Boot. How this is done depends on your computer, but if you have the same Lenovo laptop I used for this tutorial, see How to disable Secure Boot on a Lenovo G50 laptop. On an HP 250 G5 laptop, see this guide.

2. From the BIOS or UEFI setup utility, configure the computer to boot from external media.

3. After that, you need to free up disk space from your computer by shrinking the C drive or other partition with enough free space on it. Getting that done is fairly simple by using the Windows 10 partition manager. When completed, the partition should show partitions and a free disk space similar to the one in Figure 1.

Create a Bootable USB Stick of Manjaro

The next step in this operation is to download an installation image of the latest Manjaro Linux. The distribution comes in several desktop flavors, but for this article, I used an installation image of the KDE edition – Manjaro KDE 16.10. It and other desktop editions of the distribution are available for download at the project’s download page.

After the download has completed, you may now use it to create a bootable USB stick. To accomplish that on Windows 10, use this article as a guide. On any Linux distribution, the simplest method is to use the following command:

# This command assumes that you're executing it from your Download directory
# If you're using the same edition as used here, you may just copy and paste. 
# Otherwise, change the edition of Manjaro to match the one you downloaded
# /dev/sdb is the target USB stick. Yours might not be sdb, so verify before copying and pasting

sudo dd if=manjaro-kde-16.10-stable-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=sync

#

In the next step, you’ll use that bootable USB stick to install your favorite desktop flavor of Manjaro alongside Windows 10.

Dual-boot Manjaro Linux With Windows 10

If you need to encrypt the Manjaro 16.10 side of this setup, see Disk encryption with Calamares, the Linux installer for assistance in using the installer’s disk encryption feature.

If you follow the steps as given here, you should have yourself a dual-boot system running your favorite desktop flavor of Manjaro Linux and Windows 10 in about 12 minutes. So if you’ve not done so already, insert the bootable USB stick you created in the previous step in a free USB port and reboot the computer. If it’s been configured in the BIOS or UEFI setup utility, it should boot into the USB stick. If it does not, access the computer’s boot menu and select the appropriate entry. In Figure 2, that entry is EFI USB Device (USB Flash Disk), and it should be the same on your computer.

Let the computer boot into the Manjaro Live desktop. While on there, launch Calamares, the distribution’s graphical installation program. The step after the first step, should look just like the one shown in Figure 2, which gives you several disk partitioning options.

The Replace a partition option will take any existing partition and repartition it for Manjaro. So if you select the free space that you recovered from your C drive, it will partition it for Manjaro. However, the installer will create just one partition if you select that option.

What we want to do here, is create three partitions, mounted at / (root), /home and swap. And the option that will make that possible is Manual partitioning.

So select it and click the Next button.

That will take you to the manual disk partitioning interface, where all existing partitions and the free space, will be listed. In Figure 5, partitions 1 to 4 are the Windows 10 partitions. Though it’s not indicated as such, partition 2 (/dev/sdb2), is the EFI System Partition (ESP). That’s where Windows 10’s boot loader is installed, and where GRUB, the (Manjaro) Linux boot loader, will also be installed. To start creating partitions, select the free space as shown in Figure 5, then click the Create button. That procedure has to be repeated for all the partitions you’ll be creating.

That should open the installer’s partition editing window, shown in Figure 6. The only options we’ll need to modify are Size, File System, and Mount Point. For the root and /home partitions, we’ll be using the default file system, so there will no need to modify that when creating those partitions. Note that the installer does have support for disk encryption, but for this setup, we’ll not be using that feature.

The first partition we’ll be creating will be mounted at /, and you can assign from 20,000 MB (20 GB) to 50.000 MB (50 GB) to it. A default installation of Manjaro 16.10 KDE takes up less than 7 GB of disk space, so if you don’t have that much free disk space to spare, less will do, provided it’s not less than 7 GB. For the File System option, leave it at ext4. Click OK when you’re finished setting the options.

For the next partition, which will be mounted at /home, assign as much disk space as you can afford to spare, and leave the File System at the default. OK.

The last partition will be for swap, disk space that the system may use as (virtual) memory. From Use as, select linuxswap, then assign some disk space to it. About 2000 MB (2GB) to 4000 MB (4 GB) should do. Less if you don’t have that much disk space to spare. OK.

Back to the manual partitioning window for the last time, the partitions you just created will be listed under the existing (Windows 10) partitions. One last task that needs to be completed here before moving to the next step, is specify the ESP. That should be /dev/sdb2, so click on it.

In the partition editor’s window that opens, set the Mount Point to /boot/efi, then click OK. Do not modify any other option in this window.

All should now be set, and you may click Next.

This shows you a summary of all the tasks the installer is going to perform. If you agree, click Next.

Boot Into Your New Dual-boot System And Update GRUB

After installation has completed, attempting to reboot into your new dual-boot system will first take you to the GRUB menu, which will be just like the one in Figure 14. Notice that there’s no entry for the Windows 10 boot manager, so it won’t be possible to boot into Windows 10 from here.

We’ll correct that in a moment. Right now, boot into your new installation of Manjaro. Once logged in, open the terminal application, then type sudo update-grub. The output should match that shown below.

Generating grub configuration file ...
Found background: /usr/share/grub/background.png
Found Intel Microcode image
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.4-x86_64
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-4.4-x86_64.img

Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sda2@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
done

After that, rebooting the computer will show a GRUB boot manager interface with an entry for Windows 10, besides the entries for Manjaro Linux. And GRUB will still remain the default boot manager. After making sure that you can still boot into Manjaro, boot into Windows 10 also. If you did all as specified in this article, you should be able to boot into both systems. Enjoy your dual-boot system running Manjaro 16.10 and Windows 10.

Manjaro Linux is one of the fastest-growing Linux distributions derived from Arch Linux. Arch Linux is known for its reliable performance and superior light-weight handling features.

However, Arch Linux is not an excellent distribution for beginners to Linux. One has to get into the command-line often to get things done. That’s where Manjaro Linux fills in.

Since it is a spin-off from Arch Linux, you will get not only all the trustworthy Arch Linux features but also an intuitive user interface, which is beginner-friendly. In this article, we will guide you on how to install Manjaro in a dual-boot configuration alongside Microsoft Windows 10 operating system.

Creating Manjaro Linux Installation Disc/USB drive

You need to have a blank USB flash drive of at least 2 GB capacity. I won’t recommend going over 8 GB as not many computers will be able to boot into it. Alternatively, you can still use a DVD in place of USB flash drive, provided you have a built-in DVD player on your PC.

Step 1) Download Manjaro Linux ISO images from the below link. You should see several editions of Manjaro, including XFCE, GNOME, and KDE. Each is different flavors of Manjaro, and each has its pros and cons. XFCE is lightest of the three, but GNOME is most user-friendliest, but slightly intensive in hardware resources. The choice is yours. In my case, I chose GNOME edition to illustrate in this article.

Head over to our step-by-step guide on how to create Manjaro Live USB Drive and return with Live USB flash drive/DVD. It will also serve as installation media.

Creating Hard disk partitions in Windows

Note that if you have already created hard disk partitions for Manjaro, you can skip this section.

In this section, we will create a partition in the existing Windows hard disk. You need to decide how much hard disk space you want to keep for your Windows and how much you want to allocate to Manjaro.

Step 1) Login into Windows and launch ‘Disk Management,’ which is a built-in tool in Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. If you want to use some other programs, you are welcome to use it.

Step 2) Right-click on the hard disk which you want to partition and select “Shrink Volume.” By shrinking, you are reducing your Windows partition size and making space for Linux.  My test PC has 49.5 GB hard disk capacity in which Windows 10 should be installed. I plan to create 28 GB partition for Manjaro installation and leave the remaining 21.5 GB for Windows.

After I shrink the size, Windows creates a new partition, but it is the RAW format and will not get recognized as a drive. We recommend to leave it untouched so that you can quickly identify the partition while installing Manjaro.

Installing Manjaro Linux as a dual-boot with Windows

Step 1) Insert the Manjaro Live USB disk or the DVD and boot your PC into it. Note that the method of booting into the USB drive varies on the PC make and BIOS configuration.

Most of the PCs boot into bootloader when the F12 key is continuously pressed upon power ON sequence. Make sure to enable boot in UEFI mode to run Linux alongside Windows.

Step 2) Set the preferred language and click ‘Next.’

Step 4) Select Keyboard style.

Step 5) Manjaro installer gives you three options. For the dual boot with Windows or any other OS, you should select ‘Manual partitioning’ and click ‘Next.’

Step 6) In this step, you will see the current hard disk partitions in your PC. Select ‘Free Space’ and click ‘Create.’

Step 7) This is the partition where the Manjaro system files should be installed. Reduce its size by the size more than that of your computer’s RAM. For example, if you have 4 GB RAM, you can reduce the size by at least 5 GB or in you have plenty of hard disk space, double the RAM. The reduced area will automatically create one more partition, which is used for SWAP. Linux uses SWAP when you Hibernate your computer. Make sure the file system is ext4, and the mount point is /. Then click ‘OK.’

Step You will now see another ‘Free Space’ created. Let’s assign this as SWAP.  To do that, select ‘Free Space’ and click ‘Create.’

Step 9) Select ‘File System’ as ‘linuxswap.’ Select ‘Flags’ as ‘swap,’ and click ‘OK.’

Step 10) At this point, Manjaro is still showing preview, and hard disk partitions are not modified yet. Feel free to use the ‘back’ button if you think you need to edit somethings. Click ‘Next.’

Step 11) Enter User profile details like login name, PC name, and password. Optionally, you can select the option ‘Use the same password for the administrator account’ if you are the owner of the PC. Click ‘Next.’

Step 12) You will find another overview of what will happen to your computer. Click ‘Next.’

Step 13) Yet another final confirmation. Once you click ‘Install now’ there is no going back.

Step 14) Manjaro will get installed on your PC. If everything went well, you should see ‘All done’ dialog box. Remove the USB flash drive/DVD from the system. Check ‘Restart now,’ and click ‘Done.’

Step 15) You should now see the Manjaro GRUB bootloader screen with several boot options. Use keyboard up and down arrow keys to select the OS you want to boot into and hit enter.

Enjoy Manjaro Linux!

How to dual boot Manjaro and Windows 10

Overview

In this post we will cover the process how to dual boot Manjaro and Windows 10. We are going to use a setup were it will have one HDD,  Windows 10 already installed, manage partitioning for the Manjaro installation and in the end have Manjaro alongside Windows 10 and dual boot setup. We will be dual boot Manjaro version 18 and Windows 10. In this example, we’ll show you one of the most simple ways to install Manjaro and dual boot with Windows 10.

It is strongly advisable, before proceeding with these steps, backup you system just in case. Also, check your system does it boot in EUFI or in Legacy mode and create the bootable USB to match your PC boot mode.

Requirements:

1. Manjaro bootable USB.
2. Free space on HDD

Creating a partition for the Manjaro

First we start with creating a partition for our Manjaro Linux installation. In Windows 10 the process is quite simple. Windows 10 has it’s own built in tool to partition disks, which we are going to use. Besides this, there a lot of good and free tools to do this, that can be found online(easeus partition manager, minitool partition wizard – both are free).

So, right click on the Start menu and click on the disk management. When the disk management window opens, on the bottom of the window, all HDDs in your system are going to be displayed. Right click on the partition with the letter C on it(aka your primary Windows partition) and click on the option Shrink volume. We will use that partition and split it in order to create a new partition.

When you click the shrink volume, a prompt wizard will start. Click on Next. Next window will have couple of options. We need the option – Enter the amount of disk space to shrink in MB. In that field, enter the amount of disk space for the new partition and enter that number in MB(megabytes). For an example, we will create a new partition that will have 30 GB of disk space, so we will enter 30 000 MB. If you want, you can create partition with larger disk space capacity, over 30 GB if you need. But take note, you need to have enough of free space on your HDD in order to create a new partition.

When you enter the size for the new partition, click on the button – Shrink volume. The tool will perform the operation very quickly. When it’s done, you can close the disk management tool. After that, go ahead, insert your Manjaro bootable USB, restart the PC and boot the installation.

Running the Manjaro installation

This is Manjaro boot menu. We will use to boot live session of Manjaro, so select the option – Boot: Manjaro. The boot process will take a minute or two.

When Manjaro boots up – start the installation. On top right corner there’s an icon – Install Manjaro. Click on it.

The first couple of screens will prompt you for the basic info – Your location, system language, keyboard language and layout. I left for the system language and keyboard setup the English language but you can change to what you want. For the location, you can change that as well and the installation will detect your location if your PC is connected to the Internet.

Dual boot configuration – Option 1: Install Alongside

OK, here is an important step. This screen is prompting us to setup the Manjaro partition and how are we going to install it. This time, in this post we will show you one of the simpler steps how to partition, setup dual boot and install Manjaro. For that, we have the first two options – Install Manjaro alongside and replace partition.

The first option, Install Manjaro alongside is a very simple way to install it. When you select that option, on the bottom of the screen, it will display two bars. Those bars are representing your HDD and your partitions. Click on the first bar then the installation will activate the second bar and it will allow you to modify it. With your mouse, hover over the second bar and you’ll have a slider on it. Move that slider left or right.

What are you going to do with that slider is to decide how much of disk space you will allocate or give to your Manjaro partition. When you move it more to the left, it will give more space to the Manjaro partition, if you move it to the right – it will give less disk space.

The installation can detect another system on the HDD and it will warn you if gave too much space to the Manjaro. If you skipped partitioning in the Windows, you can also manage partitioning here in the Manjaro installation without needing to partition ahead.

Option 2 – Replace partition and boot loader setup

But this time, in this tutorial – we will not use the first option – install Manjaro alongside. We will go with the second option – Replace partition. Select that option. When you select, it will give you again the same two bars mentioned earlier. Click on the first bar in order to activate the second bar. Now, what we’ll do. You can see partitions are in color, color coded to be precise. Each color represent each type of the partition.

As you can see, we have a grey partition. We need that one and we are going to use it. That’s our new partition we created earlier in the WIndows. Select that grey partition.

Another thing that is really important for this step – on the bottom of the window you have an option – Boot loader location. It’s important that this option is set to install on – BOOT MASTER RECORD. That way Manjaro will install it’s boot loader properly and will setup dual boot as well. Once you selected all that, click continue.

User account creation, finishing touches and dual booting

This screen is pretty self explanatory. We need to fill out info for our user account(username, password, computer name). There is also the option where we can have a separate password for administrative privileges(sudo access) or choose the option where our password will be the same for the sudo access.

After that, we will click continue and get a summary screen to review our configuration. When you finish checking , click on the install button – a prompt will appear asking do you want to continue – click install now. The installation process will take around 15 minutes to complete.

When the installation is completed, you’ll get an All done screen. That means that the installation has completed successfully. On this point, you can remove you bootable Manjaro USB, check the option Restart now and click on done.

The system will reboot automatically. As soon it starts to boot, bootloader will boot first, so you need to get a screen like this. On this screen you select which OS you want to boot first, Manjaro or Windows . If you do get a screen like this, it means that you’ve completed everything successfully.

Summary

This was one method of how to dual boot Manjaro and Windows 10. The post is intended to be beginner friendly as much as possible. Manjaro Linux is a very good choice for beginners who want to have experience or to try out an Arch based distro and run rpm packages as well(Some other beginner friendly Linux distros – Ubuntu, Linux Mint).

Thank you very much for your time. I hope you found the post helpful
