    Post Dual boot Windows 10 & Kali Linux 2016.2 UEFI

    1. Disable Secure Boot
    2. From the BIOS or UEFI setup utility, configure the computer to boot from external media
    3. You need to free up disk space from your computer by shrinking the C drive or other partition with enough free space on it

    4. Next step in this operation is to download an installation image of Kali Linux Rolling 2016.2
    5. After the download has completed, you may now use it to create a bootable USB stick
    6. Insert the bootable USB stick you created and reboot the computer. Make sure that UEFI mode is enabled, it should boot into the USB stick. If it does not, access the computer’s boot menu and select the appropriate entry

    7. The EFI Boot menu of the Kali Linux installer has several options, but the recommended one is Graphical Install. So select it and press the ENTER/Return key

    8. We’ll be using a plain-vanilla set of partitions for this tutorial (no LVM or disk encryption), so select Guided – use the largest continuous free space. With that option, the installer will auto-partition the disk space you freed up in step 3. Your C drive and other Windows 10 partitions will not be touched. Click the Continue button to move to the next step

    9. Select Separate /home partition, the installer will create a partition mounted at /home, besides the root and swap partitions, for a total of three partitions

    10. The new partitions created by the installer will be listed below the existing Windows 10 partitions. In this image, the partitions are numbered from 5 to 7.

    11.The next task is to make sure that GRUB, the boot loader/boot manager, will be installed in the EFI System Partition (ESP), so double-click on the partition that corresponds to ESP on your system to make that verification.

    12. If the value for the Use as option is not EFI System Partition, double click on it to see the available choices. If it’s not listed in the available options, then your system does not have one, which means that your hard drive was not partitioned using the GPT partitioning scheme

    13. Select Done setting up the partition and click Continue

    14. That should take you back to the main disk partitioning window. All is now set on that front, so select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

    15. Write the changes to disk - Click Yes and Continue
    16. After all the post-installation tasks have been completed, reboot the computer

    If all went well in the previous step, rebooting the computer should bring up the GRUB boot menu of Kali Linux Rolling 2016.2. The first entry should be Kali GNU/Linux, and one of the others should be Windows Boot Manager…. Take turns booting into each operating just to make sure that installing Kali Linux did not break anything.

    Note that the default boot manager of the computer should be Kali, but you can always change it to the Windows 10 boot manager at any time. It is recommended that you leave it at Kali/GNU Linux, because the entries in Kali’s GRUB menu make it easy to boot into Kali Linux or Windows 10 or to access the UEFI setup utility (that what the System setup option is for). If you ran into any issues while trying to use this guide to set up a dual-boot system, post a comment.
