Doesn't matter. But you might just report what you get for 'efibootmgr -v' first. If that returns a bunch of lines, you can proceed. But those backslashes need backslashes i.e. double them. \\EFI\\fedora\\shimx64.efi If you get a single line error message from efibootmgr then we need to figure out what's going on. Seems like Windows 10 is installed with UEFI "enabled" and somehow Fedora got installed with a "Legacy BIOS" mode enabled.

How do I fix my messed up F31 boot partition setup ?
I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I copied an F31 install onto an existing F31 install on a hard drive that had Windows 10 on it. I did this in early 2020. Didn't keep notes. :( Now I have a hard drive that will boot Windows 10 fine, via the Windows 10 Boot Manager. When I go into the BIOS manager, it shows 2 boot options: Windows 10 via the Windows 10 Boot Manager and the hard drive device itself.
