Hello again Jerry 
I installed LL on a machine that also has windows 10 on it.
They are on separate SSD's.
Windows was already installed and then I installed LL from USB.
LL did not recognize any other OS's and so I picked "something else" from the install drive selection.
I had already formatted the drive with a boot partition, a home partition, and a swap partition.
I designated them as such for the install with grub to install at the first boot partition.
All went well, but I am not getting a grub screen at startup. I have to enter the bios boot screen and select which system to boot.
The windows drive is set as default in the bios.
I then re-installed. This time LL found windows and so I selected "erase the drive" as my install option.
LL installed and designated the windows SSD as the location for grub.
Finished the install, but this time there is no way to boot LL at all. No selection in the bios boot screen will activate LL.
Windows was untouched and boots as normal.
I installed a 3rd time, and LL did not find windows. So, I went through the first scenario again. And again, I can boot either OS but only by getting into the bios boot selector and designating the appropriate boot option.
When I have installed other linux distros on the same machine, if I select "erase the drive", it automatically handles the grub install properly, and when I reboot I have a grub screen to select either windows or linux. Not so with LL.
So, I do want to keep running LL, but I would like to be able to simplify the boot selection at startup.
Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks and I do love Linux Lite.
