Re: 'error: invalid signature' when booting Windows 10

[David Collier]

all right, it all worked after all!

Pascal, thank you very much for your help and patience.

I think this needs to be somewhere on a wiki page - I saw many searches for
this problem, and the suggested solution is to give up grub and install
some other boot manager from sourceforge, which i did not feel comfortable
to do.

I could write something up from the user perspective which you can edit and
publish, let me know if you think this is something worth pursuing.

thank you again,
