Windows 7 used to thunderfuck grub at random every few updates just to keep everyone on their toes.
Nice new verb you got there. Thunderfuck, indeed!
Did it stop after W7? I feel like it still does this at every opportunity, be that W10 or W11
UEFI boot is why this happens. In MBR, Windows doesn't check or update the MBR magic, thus GRUB is left alone.
Installed in MBR mode 🤨? Cuz Win7 does support GPT, but not UEFI boot AFAIK.
Don't remember choosing. Feel like uefi was new fangled at the time.
You don't choose. If the installer boots in UEFI, it installs the OS in UEFI, if it boots in MBR, it installs in MBR. The same logic applies to both Windows and Linux.
