    No grub after installing kali alongside windows

    Hey all

    I'm new here, and i can't get kali to work. After installation, it just loads Windows 10. I have tried for many hours not getting it to work, here is my latest steps:

    Changed BIOS->Boot to "Legacy"
    Booted Windows 10 installation, deleted all partions, and choosed to install windows on the unallocated space.
    After windows 10 first start, i shrinked C: volume by 50GB, so i now have the partions for windows and 50GB unallocated space
    I then booted into Kali, choosed "Graphical install"
    At one of the first points, i get "Can't mount and detect CD-ROM drives"
    I fixed this by going to the shell typing: "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom" and continued the installation
    I choosed "Guided - use the largest unallocated space" and i let kali set up the partions
    When asked for where to install grub i choosed dev/sda (Windows)
    And after reboot it just boots windows or if i open boot menu, my only options is USB HDD or HARD DRIVE, and choosing harddrive also just boots windows

    A'm i doing something wrong? Why can't i boot into Kali after a clean install?

    Sorry for my bad English. Any help would be much appreciated

    Specs:
    - Using Windows 10 Pro x64 - Made USB-install media by formatting USB to FAT32 and unpacked win10.iso from microsofts homepage
    - Using Kali Linux 2016.2 x64 - Made Live-USB using Rufus (MBR and UEFI)
    - On a laptop, Acer TravelMate P276, Model: ZYW
    - The only error message i get is: "Can't mount and detect CD-ROM drives", and is fixed by mounting the USB device on CD-ROM
