Hi, I installed CAELinux along win 10 but when I power computer on, it enters into win10 directly and doesn't let me choose win10 or CAELinux. What can I do to solve this problem and have both OS's?

Hello

With the new secure boot and UEFI has come more difficulties to dual boot.

Here are some suggestions of possibilities to try:
1) try to have a clean and deep shutdown of Windows before you install CAElinux: in Win10 press CTRL + SHIFT and click shutdown from Windows menu. Then boot CAELinux live and reinstall it. If Windows is in hibernate mode it might block the installation of the bootloader in the boot partition.

2) try to boot the installation media (CAElinux DVD or USB) in UEFI mode. Some pc boot DVD or usb keys in legacy bios mode but then boot from HD using UEFI. The installer need to boot using the same method as used for your current Windows install. Look into the bios/uefi settings to enable booting dvd or usb flashdrive with UEFI. And reinstall CAElinux.
3) Once booted in CAElinux live session try to force running the installer with super user rights: in a Terminal run:
sudo ubiquity
Sometime it helps...
4) if it still does not want to show a boot menu, try editing the UEFI boot choices from Windows directly as discussed here:
askubuntu.com/questions/844490/no-grub-a...tu-beside-windows-10

I am sorry but it is something that depends a lot on the PC you are running and I have only been able to test dual boot installs on about 3 pc that I own.

Let me know if any of these work for you or not.

try pressing F12 key while computer logo shows up in the startup process to enter bios setup
depending on bios you could modify uefi boot priority options
once there select the appropriate uefi boot-loader order
and you are done. select ubuntu (GRUB) loader
then save/reboot and grub will let you chose the OS loader for about 10 seconds
you could also edit grub to modify the default OS loader to get into and the time to choose between them
