@lostinmyworld honestly would be nice to know how I did this lol, I want to do this on my desktop but doubt I could :/

@lostinmyworld lol yeah which in most cases I really hate that saying but for once I guess I enjoy to some extent, I mean I've seen people say this when it's blatantly obvious they are so fucking lazy to fix the bug or just got some code off the net and don't have a sliver of a clue of how to fix it

@f03n1x if you use EFI is dead simple. Install Windows in EFI, then install any flavor of linux in EFI mode, then on the BIOS you choose the windows bootloader as default. When you want to boot linux you access the bios and manually choose the linux bootloader

@ffiebigc well that's the thing it was working perfectly not sure what I did to mess anything up normally when I boot up my computer I'd get the grub loader and be able to pick mint or windows, now it's f9 select Ubuntu (maybe from a past Ubuntu installation that was 100% deleted) and the go to pick Linux mint

@f03n1x Mint's bootloader is named ubuntu

@ffiebigc oh right
So what was originally some issue for my dual booting laptop has turned into something awesome, originally I'd boot and get into grub and choose windows or mint but with a need to get bluetooth to work I went to check some settings in the bios and after no changes I left to reboot and use mint.
Anyways it would only boot to Windows and I got a little annoyed but was able to, with the boot order changer, load up grub.
So now my laptop has a hidden boot option into mint :D thought it was a neat little feature (because I don't know how to fix it lol), completely hidden from my windows partition (unless you check disk manager).
