Am I able to install Arch Linux with the 100MB EFI partition that Windows 10 had already created on...
I want to dual-boot Arch Linux alongside Windows 10, which is already installed.
I am using UEFI-GPT.
On Windows 10 installation, it creates an EFI system partition as required by UEFI. This partition's capacity is 100 megabytes. On the Arch Linux installation guide listed on the Arch Wiki, it displays that I need to create an EFI system partition that is 260-512 megabytes of capacity 1. Which according to that statement is not enough for my 100 megabyte EFI system partition that Windows 10 has created on installation. On 2 it displays if I already have an EFI system partition I can simply continue mounting the partition.
Will I have any problems with only 100MB EFI parition?
Or do I need to extend it somehow by moving partitions around or create another one (please tell me how I would do this if needed)?
The boot loader I will be using is GRUB2.
Thank you
