There were typos in my previous post. I’ve corrected them. Please try again from the 4th line on as corrected above. :persevere:

I am stuck at efivarfs now

I go line by line
Command after command
Copy paste from live boot Firefox

Mkdir cannot create directory

Inhale exhale I’m the worst

I’m sorry, but this is where I give up. Maybe someone else can take over. @stephane?

I understand Aragorn you are my hero- kudos to you.

I have not been able to go past step 4

Perhaps tomorrow someone could take over - replying, entering properly edited text on my small smarphone is not easy, also my baby boy crying all the time makes it all more complicated to follow…

I am grateful to you mate and I will find the guy who told me upgrading W10 would pose absolutely no issues whatsoever…

When burning the iso under Rufus
The partition scheme is supposed to remain MBR or be modified to GPT?
I’m struggling to discover my mistakes here…
My flash usb stick is working properly.
I have downloaded the right iso of Manjaro KDE x64
What could I have missed?

Edit/ this time I made use of Stephane’s suggestion

chroot -a

Select system to mount 0-0

I chose 1
Grub installed. Success.

Generated grub config file

However, I still can’t get efivarfs to work
Also,

grub-probe error cannot find a grub drive for dev/sdv1

edit2://followed the instructions, restarted, now on Manjaro, update-GRUB to see my Windows 10 as well.

Upon restart there is no Windows 10 in boot menu any more - did I miss sth again?

Should I now go back to my original BIOS settings?

Is that all? Has it been fixed, gentlemen?

you have to check ALL option in UEFI bios

  • disable secure boot
  • disable fastboot
  • only UEFI on others ( not windows)
  • no Legacy
  • no CSM
  • disks on AHCI

theses command , after boot USB iso manjaro ,
will tell you if you are full EFI ( not UEFI[legacy] )

inxi  -Mxxa ( check for UEFI only , not UEFI[legacy] or Bios )
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios

if not , go back to UEFI bios
then recheck all options

All’s well that ends well.
