You need:
- Empty hard drive, or be prepared to wipe your drive.
- USB stick with LibreELEC installation files
- A bootable GParted Live USB stick or your favorite partition manager
- Windows 10 installation media
- A copy of EasyBCD (free for private use)
Then:- Install LibreELEC from the USB stick (This will wipe your drive!!)
- Restart the computer and boot the GParted device
- You will see 2 ext4 partitions: LibreELEC boot (~512MB) and the LibreELEC storage (the rest of your drive's capacity)
- Reduce the size of the storage partition to your prefered value (average 4-8 GB)
- Create a NTFS partition for Windows (and preferably a 2nd NTFS partition for your Windows data)
- Shut down the computer and remove the Gparted bootable media
- Restart the computer with the Windows installation media and install Windows. Restart the computer.
- Windows will now boot. Don't worry that there is no sign of LibreELEC at this point.
- Install EasyBCD and start the program. Create a new boot entry. Select the Linux tab and Syslinux as bootloader. Your LibreELEC boot path will be displayed. Adjust all settings (names, default boot, timeout etc.) and save everything.
- Restart your computer. Et voilá, the boot menu will be displayed and you can select between Windows 10 and LibreELEC.

Nope. This wont work. You have to install both OS in UEFI (GPT) and EASYBCD wont work with that. Must be mine Intel NUC who f*uck it up in that case.

LE will create a GPT scheme by default but as long as the scheme created (MBR or GPT) is valid we don't care. Gparted can create MBR things too.

EasyBCD is not working with UEFI. So, can I follow this tutorial but with legacy installation instead of UEFI?

That "tutorial" was written some 2.5 years ago. Plenty of motherboards have more sophisticated BIOS/UEFIs onboard. It'll depend on the motherboard at hand to see if/how legacy modes are available.

I agree, I've seen it was a bit old... But didn't find a more recent tutorial about dual-booting. Right now i'm moved to Windows 10 dual boot with UEFI
