--- Comment #9 from Colin Close <itchka at compuserve.com> ---
There is a tool that is available in Lx3 that allows you to set the boot order
in the EFI nvram but you will have to boot to a live image to use it.
I do not have windows 10 so I can't check this but there are a number of things
you can try. The first one being to turn off secure boot in the BIOS and then
try to boot Lx3 from the boot menu. I'm pretty sure it should be there if you
didn't get any failures on installation.
If you can boot then it should be possible to change the boot order using the
program efibootmgr. However I have just tested efibootmgr and although it
worked it segfaulted on exit. This is a possible reason for the initial
failure. I am investigating this.  

If your machine does not allow secure boot to be disabled then we will have to
try and implement this

However this will be difficult without test machines.
