    Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm the guy who maintains the Easylinuxtipsproject website, and I've added a warning to my SSD instruction, not to apply trim to a separate /boot/efi partition. :)

  14. Re: Reinstate GRUB menu following Windows install

    Don't install 10.10. It's long dead: no security updates. Using it is very dangerous.

    Pick a supported version, for example 12.04 LTS. This may fix your booting problem for Windows, as well.

    I advise LTS whenever possible on the hardware:
