From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Almost, the default boot drive is C:, everything gets mapped after that. So if you have a second HDD at D: and a disk reader at E:, any USBs you plug in would go to F:.
Why do you copy the boot files from C and put them in G during install then?
I don't think anybody does that, honestly.
You can have a helper script do it for you (the gui) but it still happening in the background
The boot files go into C:, not G:.
Windows can't operate if you did that, it doesn't let you.
Copy Boot Files to EFI Copy the boot files to complete the EFI partition to boot into our windows.
bcdboot c:\Windows /s G: /f ALL
