    Does this answer your question? Is it possible to boot Ubuntu using the Windows bootloader? – karel Apr 11 '23 at 15:37
  • I did not think Windows 11 could work on old computers nor on BIOS based systems? From grub you can boot Windows if Windows is not hibernated nor needs chkdsk. But Windows cannot boot Linux systems. – oldfred Apr 11 '23 at 15:53
  • How old is old? Last week or 10 years ago? – David Apr 11 '23 at 16:01
  • @oldfred it says you can install Win 11 in legacy but it quite a bit of work. https://www.minitool.com/news/install-windows-11-legacy-bios-mode.html – David Apr 11 '23 at 16:01
  • If system is old, then Windows may not run well. Many with very old systems want Linux as it is more lightweight. But now even full Ubuntu is heavier like Windows and older systems need a lightweight flavor. https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours Light weight flavors: Lubuntu, xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Budgie I like and use Kubuntu which is more middleweight but works well for me. – oldfred Apr 11 '23 at 16:54
