This would be a good opportunity to post the output of
inxi -F
in a terminal
or Quick System Info in MX Tools while running in a Live session if needed.
I think you can also use Boot Repair from a Live session to repair an installed version.

Re: Install MX Linux alongside win10
It doesn't seem your system got really installed. Boot up from your installation media, connect to internet, open a terminal and run:Drives: Local Storage: total: 491.47 GiB used: 22.4 MiB (0.0%)
ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Samsung model: MZVLB512HAJQ-000L7 size: 476.94 GiB
ID-2: /dev/sda type: USB vendor: Toshiba model: TransMemory-Mx size: 14.53 GiB
Partition: ID-1: / size: 12.38 GiB used: 22.4 MiB (0.2%) fs: overlay source: ERR-102
Code: Select all
sudo apt update
Code: Select all
and sudo apt install --reinstall mx-installer
PS: I would really go for a somewhat bigger partition to install MX on at least 20-25 GB.

If Your first OS is installed in the UEFI mode, in this case Win 10 (that is you have an EFI system partition on your disk) then you should install the second one in the same mode as well. You will then have a choice which OS you want to boot into in the Grub menu.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Re: Install MX Linux alongside win10
Yes, that's what I've done with a couple laptops to dual boot Win10 and MX.
UEFI=ON, Secure Boot=OFF, install to ESP.
Some machines, such as Acers, also require you to first set a security password for the BIOS before you can make these changes, then after the install (and also after BIOS and Windows updates), add the MX GRUB efi file to the list of trusted boot files, then make sure that one is at the top of the boot order.
