I'm new to Linux and I'm really confused about my dual boot setup. I have a Tuxedo Infinitybook Pro 15 Gen 9 with an AMD processor. I installed Windows 10 on one half of my 2TB SSD and then installed Fedora on the other half. However, when I turn on my laptop, it takes me directly to Windows 10 instead of showing GRUB. I've tried following tutorials, but most are for Windows 11 or don't apply to my situation. In the BIOS, I can only see the Windows Boot Manager as an option, and I can't find Fedora anywhere. I'm open to wiping everything and starting over since I don't have any important files. Just to note, I need dual boot because my college requires Windows for certain classes, even though I'm studying Computer Science!

Make sure you’ve installed Fedora correctly and that it's set up to install GRUB on the right drive. You can also check if there's an option in the BIOS for 'UEFI firmware settings'—that might show you more boot options, including Fedora if it's there. If you're willing to start over, just remember to install Fedora first and let it handle GRUB installation.
It sounds like GRUB isn't installed correctly or isn't being recognized. Sometimes, if you boot into Fedora directly from the BIOS, it will bring up the GRUB menu. If that works, it might indicate that GRUB isn't set as the default bootloader. You might want to double-check your boot order in the BIOS settings or try reinstalling GRUB from Fedora to fix the issue.
