Good to know there's been progress. Last time I researched this option when installing Wheezy (5 years ago) on a multi-boot set up that was all MBR, it was not recommended to mix-n-match. I had Windows XP as one of the OSes, too. That system is still alive and well though the hardware has been upgraded numerous times, and only holds two OSes now -- Wheezy and Stretch, it's still MBR It was juat easier to install Stretch that way even though I chainload it off Wheezy's grub. (I prefer to keep OS grubs separate.) Plus, I had no real need of the features that UEFI offers. KISS -- Keep It Simple, Stupid. FWIW: I run old XP in a VM now. Actually, it performs better than running it natively. B
