Hi. I'm using dual boot for the first time. It's linked to trying out options on a new PC.
The boot mode is CSM as option 1 is to continue with Win 7. That's on a spinning hard disk, currently disconnected.
Option 2 is Win 10 and I've installed that on a 500GB nvme SSD as GPT
Option 3 is LL. I've been using that in a VM and on a laptop to build up experience and confidence.
When installing LL I added partitions /root, /home and swap on the SSD. I first got an error that "No "Reserved BIOS boot area" so I added a 1MB grub partition. I then got the error: "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1p8"
Image 1 is the LL partition set up during installation

image 2 is the partition table seen under Win 10 using Macrium Reflect backup utility.

I would like some help please on how to proceed.
