Personal Note: Dual Booting Arch/Windows (Legacy/BIOS)

Couldn't find as many straight forward resources regarding legacy dual booting for Arch/Windows clients. The Arch wiki provids some insight, but if your partitioning on both machines was performed correctly - this should work perfectly fine.

0. For dual booting Arch, follow the main installation guide until installing a boot loader.
1. Install the following packages:

pacman -S grub os-prober ntfs-3g

2. Run the grub installer (specify EFI target if using a UEFI installation) Note: /dev/sdX refers to the disk containing both OSes.

grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX

3. Run os-prober to search for additional boot loaders

os-prober

Note: A log should appear signifying a recognized windows installation, for me - it recognized the system reserved partition in particular.

4. Create the grub configuration file

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Grub should identify the windows boot loader partition when generating the config.
