Hi,
I bought a new ACER laptop last week that came with Windows 10 and UEFI firmware/bios.
I did reduce the size of windows partition, created new partitions for install mageia 6, disabled the secure boot from the BIOS and installed Mageia 6 on the laptop. Everything went fine during the install. However, the laptop boots straight into Windows 10 only and not providing the option of Mageia as a bootable OS. I am able to press F12 to get the boot menu and able to select Mageia from there and it boots fine. It appears that the windows boot manager is taking precedence over the grub2. I went thru several google links, looked at Mageia 6 wiki and tried several options However, no matter what I do, it boots straight into Windows.
I tried the below command and it did not report any errors.
grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --bootloader-id=mageia --recheck
Also tried the below command from windows 10.
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\<id>\grubx64.efi
Also tried the method that is given in the youtube video.

I tried to follow the procedure listed in the forum topic https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... kzU0nonQU2, but it did not work. when I type "urpmi grub2-common", I get a message saying "No package named grub2-common".
How do I make grub2 to override the windows boot manager?
I really don't want to re-install the OS and I have done a lot of customizing on Mageia 6 to my liking.
Thanks,
Balaji.
