Hello, dear community.
I want to perform a simple task, i want to boot Linux Mint from external SSD where it is alrdy installed.
I have preinstalled windows 10 in UEFI/GPT on HP notebook.
And I have installed Linux mint on external SSD disk probably in MBR/legacy that i was using before.
I realy dont want to reinstall or instal new linux to dual boot on notebook.
I just want to use both systems that i alrdy installed, bcs i have there a lot of installed aplications and data. My imagination was just to plug-in external disk and then boot linux when needed.
Secure Boot is disabled and there is no option for booting external device.
I tried to change UEFI to legacy in bios but there was warning :"Changing this setting may make the system unable to boot the os windows 10". So i rather did nothing.
Q: Changing this setting can corrupt instalation of windows where i cant go back?
I was not sure if i can just change UEFI to Legacy for booting Linux and then go back to UEFI and boot windows.
Thank you for reading and some sugestions.
Sincerely Vladimír.
