How To Put Linux Mint And Windows On One Drive! (With Secure Boot!)
Learn how to install Linux Mint alongside Windows 11 on a single drive with Secure Boot fully enabled (or not - your choice). In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk you through preparing your Windows system, adjusting partitions safely, configuring UEFI firmware settings, and completing a clean dual-boot installation that keeps both systems working smoothly.
You’ll see exactly how to shrink your Windows partition, set up the correct EFI and bootloader options, and verify that Secure Boot remains active throughout the process. This guide is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a reliable dual-system setup without disabling security features.
We’ll cover BIOS/UEFI configuration, partitioning best practices, installing Linux Mint alongside Windows Boot Manager, GRUB setup, first-boot checks, and post-installation tips to keep both operating systems running efficiently.
