u/LockedLise

on my Dell XPS 15, I had a dual boot.

I removed my old windows partition and moved my /home to that partition.

I updated /boot/UEFI by removing the windows folder.

then ran update-grub.

now it boots directly to Linux Mint as intended.

however:

booting from USB doesn't seem to work?

if I plugin a USB drive (with the Linux Mint installation on it) the laptop just keeps rebooting.

if I hit F12, I get the boot menu, but the USB stick is not showing up there.

any suggestions?
