  • Description:
  • Is it possible to install dual boot ‘accidentally’? I installed FydeOs on a Surface Go3 and seemed at first to have no problems. However I am working through problems in enabling Android subsystem and one thing that strikes is that when I boot up the system, the first screen I see seems to have a windows logo and an image of an unlocked padlock before giving way to the FydeOs one. Is this normal? And if I have a dual boot installation how can I change it to a regular one?

Okay someone on Reddit told me that this was just the surface boot logo. I appear to be an idiot…

Because you turned off secure boot. So it looks different. Don’t worry.
