I have used arch for last 7 years on many.......many machines... That includes dual booting with Linux s and windows Evrytime it's a different experience... Different problems and different googlin tactics. All I want to say you have done a stunning job on this video and attention details is impeccable ( font size in first prompt, windows not showing in grub, connecting to net iwctl and nm etc). Well done, keep it up and thanks a lot.
If none has mentioned yet, you dont necessarily need the swap partition unless your using an older device or one with scarce RAM, you can still use it if you have a decent amount but it is neither going to hinder the performance nor is it likely going to increase performance.
Thank you, thank you so much. I had the problem of installing this for 1 month. It's 4:53 am and I'm working on this for 5h. Finally it's installed and worked. Thank you sir
If you are having trouble adding windows bootloader as a grub option (os-prober not discovering it), it worked for me only after mounting the windows bootloader, i.e., lsblk to identify the windows bootloader partition and then sudo mkdir /mnt/win11 sudo mount /dev/ /mnt/win11 and running grub-mkconfig again
When grub-mkconfig is not detecting the Win11, then: 1. Install os-probe `sudo pacman -S os-probe` 2. Set the grub.cfg as in the video by uncommenting the disable os-probe 3. Do `sudo mkdir /mnt/win11` 4. Mount EFI part with `sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/win11` 5. Then run the grub-mkconfig
Fyi, while using */boot* as esp works, when doing efi, */boot/efi* should be the boot partition location. This is easily accomplished by mounting only your root partition, installing the base system, then create an "efi" folder in /boot of the newly installed system. After, mount the boot partition, swap, etc. The next step is also genfstab, so it fits perfectly. Once you reach the grub-install command, simply point esp to your /boot/efi path. Again, using /boot works, but for correctness, that is the proper way to do it with grub and also how many other distros do as well (Debian, for example). GREAT video and truly appreciate you installing the official Arch way, I've used Arch for 16 years now and felt like it your guide was done properly, straight from the wiki. 🐧
How do you access the boot/efi if it is on another disk. All dual boot videos are using the same drive. I wish there a video with two drives. 1 windows and 1 linux
@@zubalea Then lets say */dev/sda1* (first drive) is where you want your efi and */dev/sdb1* (second drive) is where you want the rest of your system. The only difference here would be mounting */dev/sda1* to */boot/efi* folder on */dev/sdb1* and then pointing your grub-install path the same exact way to */boot/efi* - It's that simple. If you are installing Linux on it's own drive, then you would just do a normal install as I my initial comment said. Multiple EFI boot partitions on one machine is common with dual-boot and makes it easy to chain load via grub or bios boot menu.
@@zubalea Also, as shown in the video here, you can easily setup os-prober to have grub detect other OS like Windows. It doesn't matter if Linux is installed on the same drive or not. Once done, use your bios to point to the Linux boot and from there you can choose Windows or Linux.
@@terminalvelocity4858 Great information, thank you. I remember trying that with no success. I finally used endeavour OS installer because I could not do it with Arch and os-prober and grub. Endeavour OS used systemd-boot instead of grub. I figured that was the only to do it.
@terminalvelocity4858 @kskroyaltech In most of the uefi arch installation tutorials I have seen, most of them mount the efi partition to /boot/EFI (All uppercase efi). Is there any difference between both of these methods? I just can't understand and I am just too lazy to search a proper answer from the web.
It is a nice tutorial. But I'm a little bit fearful of following it completely, because most of the time it just says "do this and do that", without really explaining why exactly we are doing it, we need something, what could go wrong. If something slightly changes or something does not work we have no ground to adapt, because this is a tutorial only gives this one linear explanation.
hey I loved your video! the first time I installed arch linux i just go straight with archinstall and never bother with this kind of setup. now after a few months of using arch i got a new laptop, ill followed all the steps here and boom i got my new arch setup. Thank you so much for this quality video!
Very nice tutorial but I have a problem. After leaving the USB drive I do not boot into Grub, but rather Windows 11. I can't prioritize Grub or the hardrive with Grub in the BIOS. I do in fact have the option to boot into Grub, but this only boot Windows 11. What am I doing wrong?
if your efi partition size is small (100 or 150 mb), mounting EFI in /mnt/efi (/mnt/boot/efi is depreceated) will help instead of mounting in /boot, since grub will also be installed in the boot directory
Hi, for everyone like who as the error device did not show after 30 second, when you use rufus when it ask for use ISO or dd, use dd. With iISO i haved this problem and some people haved my propblem too, just select dd on rufus
Here is what I did. For me the wlan0 adapter was off. So, I turned it ON using device wlan0 set-property Powered on If that doesnt work, try adapter phy0 set-property Powered on
Awesome tutorial. This has genuinely given me a better of stuff I previously didn't know regarding how dual boots even work in the first place and setting up other stuff, etc. Thank you so much for the amazing guidance. (took me four hours since i was documenting everything myself haha)
so use AZERTY keyboard. I manage to change it during the installation, but now that Arch is installed it doesn't want to update. I'll tinker with that, but overall great guide, very easy to follow, thank you !
Thank you for this tutorial. I was unaware that you could create an EFI partition for Arch separate from the Windows EFI partition. I thought they had to share the space so this makes it a lot easier!
Great 9/10 - I had a problem multiple times because of having an Nvidia card, so I got stuck and had to go elsewhere, far before you installed the utils at the end. That would have been helpful
I got into a rabbit hole about why you should not disable "Secure Boot" on the BIOS settings, now I don't know if I should or should not do it. What is your opinion on the topic?
Thanks, i just used gnome and refind instead of kde and grub btw, it was the best tutorial for installing arch and at the end i have to mention that the Archlinux is the best
ERROR: device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist. Also sh:cant acces tty; job control turned off.... Its not going into archlinux. Instead the propt shows [rootfs ~] I tried mounting et4 again but its saying fstab does not exist
Have you fixed the issue? If not, it may be the usb you are using. Try switching out the usb with a different one for the installation. I've run into that situation before.
When adding windows entry to GRUB i made all steps correctly, but it just won't found windows boot manager The message i received was "Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions"
I want to install it on F-drive, but I lost my hard drive two times (I have backup on github) , not going to try it again, I think I should install it on a complete new system.
9:57 that should be `mount --mkdir /dev/efi_system_partition /mnt/boot`. the --mkdir will make sure the directories are made if they don't exist already. still a good guide
Is there anything we should know about the sizes? What if we need more space for the Linux side of things? Do we just uninstall stuff from the Microsoft side, and install stuff on the Linux side?
If you are dual booting linux alongside windows 11 on the same drive, Its recommended to shrink more free space . I personally use 200GB for Linux. Also you can install Arch Linux on the dedicated drive.

Your instructions were clear and I'm following your article and there is a minor mistake while installing package You mentioned base-level instead of a base-devel
Thank you for the manual. I have a question - if i want to increase the arch os memory size by releasing from windows after linux installation done, is it possible?
Probably I'll delete arch partitions, so I'd like to know if is possible to re-enable Windows 11 Secure Boot from Bios, which I previously disabled in order to install arch (I didn't erase any security key from Bios). Thank you
At the part you installed kde, if I'd prefer xfce, what packages should I install to get the minimal possible xfce? I know about xfce4-goodies and xfce4, but I want even more minimal than that. Is it possible?

I guess you have installed Arch Linux as Main os. Do one thins create a free space in ArchLinux and use Perfection tool to create a windows 11 bootable USB.
Hii, your video is great. But I wonder if there is the Linux EFI partion, so is the first EFI partition still in used? Which EFI partition does the computer boot to? Can I delete the first partition while dual boot like in your video? Thank you in advance ❤
The reason why I created a separate EFI partition for ArchLinux is to prevent windows updates messing up the linux boot. DONT TOUCH THE FIRST SYSTEM EFI Partition which is related to windows. Basically OS-Prober probes into other partitions of the drive and looks for other operating systems if it finds any, adds them to the grub menu. It would be good if we maintain a copy of MICROSOFT FOLDER present inside the FIRST EFI PARTITION into Arch EFI partition..
@@kskroyaltech So it's possible to have more than 1 EFI partitions and we can decide which one to boot into right? In the video, if we boot into the first EFI partition, it will boot normally to windows boot manager, right? Thank you for your kind answers.
Do one thing, boot into UEFI boot menu, can you tell me if you can boot into Windows 11 from there ??? Also, Did u create a system restore point ? If so, using bootable Windows 11 USB you can restore that backup to fix the issue.
@@kskroyaltech i fixed it, it was my system's fault when it just didn't created EFI partition for Windows, i created it by myself and now everything work properly (and you also didn't showed in your video that you need to mount this EFI partition as /boot/windows)
Thank you @Ksk royal for the tutorial, I followed all the steps in the video but when booting I am just getting the grub prompt. I have manually load the Kernel and boot, I first set the root=(hd0,gpt5) and when setting linux, I get error that /boot/vmlinuz-linux does not exit ..it looks like the path for boot folder is not working for me, not sure why this is happening ..I have tried it three time so far but no luck
After shutting down and rebooting after installing grub I just boot into windows. No errors during any install and I have retried this 3 times now. When I press f10 on startup it only shows windows boot manager as well.
I think the grub boot manager is not installed properly. You can still fix this issue, by connecting the bootable USB, mount root partition that was created, and chroot into root. Then install the grub boot loader again... grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When writing grub install, add flag --removable, it worked for me! Had been struggling too. Then check discreetly your uefi for boot options (in My case on msi there was a different option where you choose not drives, but boot options, and there it happened to be after --removable flag)
hey i hope you are doing good. when i install ubuntu it works well for 2-3 days but after that it starts to slow down. boot time is about 15 mins and apps take too long to open as well. my system specs are: RAM: 8GB SSD: 256 GB
Hey! Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful could you please help me? I have issues with GUI, using intel i5 13500hx and RTX 4060 sometimes I get artifacts using google chrome (installed using yay aur) also with vscode and neovim I have them sometimes when I open KDE Software Center, PC just crash, and I do force restart for my PC using flameshot I have issue like, when I run it, it scales my window, and everything becomes small, actually fixable with setting 100% display resolution, but in that case, in normal mode everything is small :D I think problem is inside KDE, maybe I should use gnome, or smth else better?
@@talhax68 I reinstalled 5 times arch (1 time with archinstall), installed latest Nvidia and intel drivers bot had same issues, tried last time fedora 40 with kde, again same... so I just went back to to my macos edit: with gnome, same troubles, but tested only on arch
My USB drive does not seem to support UEFI compatibility, so I had to turn on CSM to get it to work initially, but I got stuck at the part where Grub is meant to be installed. When I run the command, it tells me "EFI is not supported on this device." What can I do instead of buying a new USB?
@@kskroyaltech I’d have to check if there’s a specific option to turn on UEFI. I use an ASRock motherboard and I assumed that having CSM turned off would mean it would automatically use UEFI. The problem is that when I can only see my USB boot as an option when I turn CSM on.
Im having a weird problem with dual booting on my laptop: the first time I boot to Linux Bluetooth doesn’t work, it says there aren’t any adapters available, but then I restart and the second boot it works without any problems. But the third time it’s the same as the first and the fourth is the same as the second. I tried with arch and endeavorOS and I had the same problem. Also the same session where Bluetooth doesn’t work, when I restart or shutdown, it gets stuck on the shutting down process until I force the pc to shutdown with the power button, but in the sessions where Bluetooth works it shuts down without problems
Run these commands one by one, you can easily add Bluetooth support to your Arch Linux system. sudo pacman -S bluez blueman bluez-utils sudo modprobe btusb sudo systemctl enable bluetooth && sudo systemctl start bluetooth
@@kskroyaltech I had already added bluetooth support support to arch, but it's just that the first time I boot it says that there aren't adapters available, but the second time I start the system it works fine, and it goes on like that. It happened the same with endeavorOS. along with rebooting staying on the text mode forever whenever bluetooth doesn't work. When I installed Manjaro it actually worked fine, bluetooth starts every single time and rebooting never hangs on the text mode. One thing to note is that both Arch and endeavorOS came with kde 6 while Manjaro came with kde 5, not sure if it is that or perhaps something to do with the kernel?
I have shrinked volume and unallocated space is showing in lsblk as a whole drive (like if i didn't shirink a volume) and when i open cfdisk there is no free space to be found any idea why?
I completed all your steps up to the Grub installation, but when I removed my USB drive and turned my system back on, it was only loading Windows with no way to boot Arch. What should I do?
@@orlandolopez9136Just looked into it also tried to assign letter and bcedit it still straight to windows the efi file is present on EFI drive. Nothing in bios i have msi motherboard.

If none has mentioned yet, you dont necessarily need the swap partition unless your using an older device or one with scarce RAM, you can still use it if you have a decent amount but it is neither going to hinder the performance nor is it likely going to increase performance.

@@visheshsharma9424did you ever fix this please help me
@@Incursion.I tried this and it still didn’t hell
@@itscrambles same for me, did you find solve it?
Very helpful and so easy. Thanks a lot!
I belive it should be /boot/efi during grub installation 15:35
I have bitlocker enabled....
So Can I enable secure boot again or should I disable bitlocker??
Disable bitlocker
Not a big deal
yes you can enable again
after installing arch
@@shauryasonar But if I disabke Bitlocker, I give Win11 security (encryption) up. Don't I?
@@racingtheweb
Ohhh noo…. Anyways.
Your instructions were clear and I'm following your article and there is a minor mistake while installing package
You mentioned base-level instead of a base-devel
thanks for telling bro I will update it.
Thank you for the manual. I have a question - if i want to increase the arch os memory size by releasing from windows after linux installation done, is it possible?
Are you noob 😂
Bro you are running Arch Linux directly on top of hardware (BARE METAL). Entire hardware resources will be used By Arch.
@@kskroyaltechhe means storage size not memory he’s asking if you can delete windows and increase arch partition size after
@@anshumaankhare6770 Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Probably I'll delete arch partitions, so I'd like to know if is possible to re-enable Windows 11 Secure Boot from Bios, which I previously disabled in order to install arch (I didn't erase any security key from Bios). Thank you
You can always change your secure boot via your bios
@@konical. Yeah, already done.it's ok
At the part you installed kde, if I'd prefer xfce, what packages should I install to get the minimal possible xfce? I know about xfce4-goodies and xfce4, but I want even more minimal than that. Is it possible?
Bro XFCE is already Minimal.
I installed the same way bro. Thanks ❤. Now I want to allocate more space to arch. How to do that? Please tell me a way to do
Its not recommended
to reshrink the free space.
I installed exactly the same packages as you did but on the desktop, the taskbar clock won't appear let alone the widget
If anyone is having password issues, do faillock --reset. (You have to replace the hyphens I typed with a normal keyboards hyphens, Im on iOS haha)
hey i have installed arch linux with the help of your video and i want to know what kind of file system i got ,i want to switch to xfs file system (for faster performance)
Didnt you remember while choosing the file system ? Use this command to find the current file system : *df -T*
@@kskroyaltechYou mean the mkfs command for mnt partition? I want to use btrfs, so can I just do mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda7 -f to change btrfs as primary fs in installation?
Man I dont have those changes in my boot menu, I am using a laptop. Is there a problem
Same
I finally found the right tutorial and it’s the same as my computer Hp
I tried using nmcli but it said “Can’t create object” and “Connection Refused”
Make sure network manager is running in the background.
Do this:
*sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager*
*sudo systemctl start NetworkManager*
then run the below command to check the status of the network manager
*sudo systemctl status NetworkManager*
you can press Q to quit the status..
then run NMCLI command.
Just a question, but the GRUB boot loader is interfering with Windows updates, is there any way to circumvent that?
Amazing tutorial thx 🙏
Just one more question! Great vídeo btw, liked and sub!
How to install Intel graphics drivers?

i booted without usb and it went into windows 11??
Same problem here
@@-_vh_- go into boot menu and boot archlinux from there
i'm using arch right now and I want to dual boot windows 11, can you make a tutorial about partition the disk?
I guess you have installed Arch Linux as Main os. Do one thins create a free space in ArchLinux and use Perfection tool to create a windows 11 bootable USB.
hey i have a problem i dont have 100 mb windows partition iv been trying to fix it for hours but i found no solution maybe you can help me?
Thank you so much for this video!! Worked out perfectly for me!
Hii, your video is great. But I wonder if there is the Linux EFI partion, so is the first EFI partition still in used?
Which EFI partition does the computer boot to? Can I delete the first partition while dual boot like in your video?
Thank you in advance ❤
The reason why I created a separate EFI partition for ArchLinux is to prevent windows updates messing up the linux boot.
DONT TOUCH THE FIRST SYSTEM EFI Partition which is related to windows.
Basically OS-Prober probes into other partitions of the drive and looks for other operating systems if it finds any, adds them to the grub menu.
It would be good if we maintain a copy of MICROSOFT FOLDER present inside the FIRST EFI PARTITION into Arch EFI partition..
@@kskroyaltech So it's possible to have more than 1 EFI partitions and we can decide which one to boot into right? In the video, if we boot into the first EFI partition, it will boot normally to windows boot manager, right?
Thank you for your kind answers.
installed, but something went wrong and now i can't even boot in windows (it doesn't show up even in the BIOS)
Do one thing, boot into UEFI boot menu, can you tell me if you can boot into Windows 11 from there ???
Also, Did u create a system restore point ? If so, using bootable Windows 11 USB you can restore that backup to fix the issue.
@@kskroyaltech i fixed it, it was my system's fault when it just didn't created EFI partition for Windows, i created it by myself and now everything work properly (and you also didn't showed in your video that you need to mount this EFI partition as /boot/windows)
how did you create the EFI partition for windows?
Thank you @Ksk royal for the tutorial, I followed all the steps in the video but when booting I am just getting the grub prompt. I have manually load the Kernel and boot, I first set the root=(hd0,gpt5) and when setting linux, I get error that /boot/vmlinuz-linux does not exit ..it looks like the path for boot folder is not working for me, not sure why this is happening ..I have tried it three time so far but no luck
I have dual display which works perfectly on windows but on arch i am unable to acess dual monitor and i have nvidia 1650 ti can someone help
I have followed every instruction with no error but when i shutdown and remove pendrive it says no bootable device found
Change your bootloader to grub in bios
@@strost7534 I did it and when it loads it says "you are being dropped into an emergency shell"
from where you get high quality wallpapers ?
Bro I mostly google them. Sometimes for Linux I use this repo:
github.com/JaKooLit/Wallpaper-Bank/tree/main/wallpapers
After shutting down and rebooting after installing grub I just boot into windows. No errors during any install and I have retried this 3 times now. When I press f10 on startup it only shows windows boot manager as well.
I think the grub boot manager is not installed properly. You can still fix this issue, by connecting the bootable USB, mount root partition that was created, and chroot into root. Then install the grub boot loader again...
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When writing grub install, add flag --removable, it worked for me! Had been struggling too. Then check discreetly your uefi for boot options (in My case on msi there was a different option where you choose not drives, but boot options, and there it happened to be after --removable flag)
@@obrikash9123 I owe you a beer kind sir
hey i hope you are doing good. when i install ubuntu it works well for 2-3 days but after that it starts to slow down. boot time is about 15 mins and apps take too long to open as well.
my system specs are:
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 256 GB
Did u try reinstalling the operating system ?
i install window on MacBook pro i7, after 2 weeks Macos Not booted, Aslo mac recovery not opening, what i do now 🥺
Buy a new laptop. Simple.
You have to reinstall macos using a boot drive, just scearch it on RUclips (don't ask me how, I have never used macos)
How about secure boot? You need it for Windows 11.
Well you have to turn off bit locker and with secure boot turned off you can still use Windows 11 as long as you are working with HOME Edition.
Thanks for helping arch linux to install in computer
Hey! Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful
could you please help me? I have issues with GUI, using intel i5 13500hx and RTX 4060
sometimes I get artifacts using google chrome (installed using yay aur)
also with vscode and neovim I have them

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!! Now I have arch for the first time (btw)
My USB drive does not seem to support UEFI compatibility, so I had to turn on CSM to get it to work initially, but I got stuck at the part where Grub is meant to be installed. When I run the command, it tells me "EFI is not supported on this device." What can I do instead of buying a new USB?
Does your system has an option to turn on UEFI ?
@@kskroyaltech I’d have to check if there’s a specific option to turn on UEFI. I use an ASRock motherboard and I assumed that having CSM turned off would mean it would automatically use UEFI. The problem is that when I can only see my USB boot as an option when I turn CSM on.
Im having a weird problem with dual booting on my laptop:
the first time I boot to Linux Bluetooth doesn’t work, it says there aren’t any adapters available, but then I restart and the second boot it works without any problems. But the third time it’s the same as the first and the fourth is the same as the second. I tried with arch and endeavorOS and I had the same problem.
Also the same session where Bluetooth doesn’t work, when I restart or shutdown, it gets stuck on the shutting down process until I force the pc to shutdown with the power button, but in the sessions where Bluetooth works it shuts down without problems
Run these commands one by one, you can easily add Bluetooth support to your Arch Linux system.
sudo pacman -S bluez blueman bluez-utils
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth && sudo systemctl start bluetooth
@@kskroyaltech I had already added bluetooth support support to arch, but it's just that the first time I boot it says that there aren't adapters available, but the second time I start the system it works fine, and it goes on like that.
It happened the same with endeavorOS. along with rebooting staying on the text mode forever whenever bluetooth doesn't work.
When I installed Manjaro it actually worked fine, bluetooth starts every single time and rebooting never hangs on the text mode. One thing to note is that both Arch and endeavorOS came with kde 6 while Manjaro came with kde 5, not sure if it is that or perhaps something to do with the kernel?
I have shrinked volume and unallocated space is showing in lsblk as a whole drive (like if i didn't shirink a volume) and when i open cfdisk there is no free space to be found any idea why?
Make sure bit locker encryption on windows is disabled.
Hello, thank for the video and i have successfully install arch Linux , and could you make a video for dual boot cashyos linux
It's very easy bro. You can try by yourself.
can i use my first EFI partition, it have rEFInd on that partition
Why the connection is not even detected while install? I'm using hotspot with my phone btw
9:12 formatting the partitions here does not work for me, I get an error saying the device is busy, any advice?
I completed all your steps up to the Grub installation, but when I removed my USB drive and turned my system back on, it was only loading Windows with no way to boot Arch. What should I do?
Try Change the boot order in the BIOS
@@orlandolopez9136Just looked into it also tried to assign letter and bcedit it still straight to windows the efi file is present on EFI drive. Nothing in bios i have msi motherboard.
When trying to boot arch, I’m getting this: “boot device mounted successfully but /sbin/init does not exist”. Any idea what went wrong?
That happens when you use ventoy, try booting the arch Linux iso in grub2 mode
any guide for secure booting? I have a problem where my `/boot/efi` does not exist which mainly because I don't format it to be Linux EFI?
my nvme0n1p5 is selected to be EFI btw
