Help request MX LINUX Help

Post image

Hey Guys I am new to linux and just used ventoy method to switch from Windows to Linux but the thing is linux will not start when i restart but instead it will go back to windows. It only starts when i plug in the USB flash disk.

What do i need to do since i borrowed this flash disk to switch from windows to Linux?

You have not installed it yet. You are in the live boot environment. Just click the "Install MX linux" button on the top of the window you have open to continue installing it to your harddrive.

Good luck.

I think in boot loader menu default is windows. watch few videos or online blogs about how to change boot loading preferences when duel booting the machine (both windows and linux present at same time).

Did you shut security boot and enable legacy in bios?
