UEFI: Install Ubuntu first then Windows 10

What should I do in order to install Windows 10 after I already installed Ubuntu (>= 18.10)? both should work in UEFI mode



GParted shows this after failed Windows installation attempt (/dev/nvme0n1p 4-7 were created at install moment):



enter image description here



At installation moment I get:




Windows detected that the EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS.
Format the EFI system partition as FAT32, and restart the installation




enter image description here

  • Try labeling the first EFI partition just like the created one, and delete the created one, maybe copy any contents to the frst too. This is really a Windows question, nothing to do with Ubuntu.

  • Did you do a fast format of NTFS? If you did, maybe try a full format (writing to every bit).

  • @ubfan1 - that depends on the point of view; for me Ubuntu is the main actor here, Windows is just expendable annoyance

Well, I solved this way:




  1. removed efi & boot flags from the already existing Ubuntu-EFI partition
    (/dev/nvme0n1p5 for me) and let just fat32 flag

  2. I removed Windows related partitions (created at installation moment) so that the initially empty spate at the end of the disk was restored

  3. I restarted the Windows 10 installation -> successful this time


This works for me because my motherboard (Asus H370-I) still allows me to choose as booting partition any of these:




  • the previous Ubuntu-EFI one (now just fat32)

  • the new Windows-EFI one
