I have a dual-boot system with Windows 10 (GPT partitioning) and MX Linux. It is set up as EFI boot.
I want to go back to legacy (MBR) boot, because I am having issues with virtual machines based on my Windows system. (I have a VM created by Physical-to-Virtual, and another one that I am trying to boot by raw access to the Windows installation. Both have booting problems in VirtualBox.)
I enabled legacy boot in the BIOS, but I can't get it to boot Windows that way. I tried fixing the boot with Windows recovery media, and with Macrium Reflect recovery media, but no go. Windows doesn't want to boot from legacy.
What to do?
