Hello, thanks for the reply. well, I had loads of issue in installing a stable working Ubuntu in Thinkpad and therefore also I went through series of problem fixing solutions. In short, there is a higher chance that I played around with Grub, but can not confirm. Besides, I am not much into Grub settings. Please find the info of my Grub, and guide me further which one I have got and which one I should have [1]. Also, one more important requirement for me is that I am running my work-windows 10 in Oracle VM, that should also be compatible with the Grub. Many thanks, pooja [1] ************************** pooja@X1-Carbon-6:~$ grub-install -v grub-install: info: executing modprobe efivars 2>/dev/null. grub-install: info: Looking for /sys/firmware/efi ... grub-install: info: ...found.
