can't setup dual booting (win 10 and kali linux)

[Abdul Malek]

Everything is installed and done. I want to setup the dual booting using EasyBCD but I keep getting this error message that you can see in the Attachments bellow. Any solution for it?

You cannot install Linux in UEFI secure boot mode, and the EasyBCD bootloader probably also cannot work in that mode.

Yes, using the GRUB bootloader from Kali instead of EasyBCD's would indeed also allow you to choose Win 10 or Linux when booting.

No, it does not work in UEFI secure boot mode either so you still need to turn that off in the BIOS. By design, secure boot means only an OS with a Microsoft certificate can boot, such as Win 8 or Win 10. This is exactly what the error message should have told you if you read it and clicked the "help" button like it said to. What it would not mention is you have to change the UEFI settings in Windows' Troubleshoot--Advanced Options first or 10 will never boot again (not an issue if you intend to reinstall Win 10).

Note that since Win 10 came out, being able to disable secure boot in the BIOS became optional. If you have such a machine where it cannot be turned off, it will only ever work with Win 8 or Win 10, or the large commercial Linux distros that have paid Microsoft $99 for their secure boot shim. These include Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat Enterprise and Ubuntu.

If you want to be able to install any distro then you need a computer with an unlocked or unlockable BIOS.
