Please help with Windows / Linux Dual boot. e7470. Where does bootloader go ?

Hi,

I usually run even older latitudes because they last so long.

This new bios is killin me. I used to put GRUB in the MBR. Now, these newer BIOS have safety features other places for bootloaders which leads to endless hassle.

I either end up with A Linux installed that I cannot boot because GRUB is somewhere that it should not be or I end up even worse where nothing will boot and I need to go back into the BIOS and hit defaults or change back to secure boot to even get windows booting again.

I am stuck

I currently have windows 10 installed and Mint Linux. I cannot boot into mint Linux as described

Where should the GRUB bootloader be installed and how should the Dell Bios be set to find it ?

Thanks !
