Install Fedora and the boot loader to a fresh system for single boot. Format the disk and create the EFI partition. 1. Install Fedora and the boot loader on an already installed system for multi boot. Reuse the existing EFI partition. 2. Install Fedora on an already installed system for multi boot. Don’t mess with the exitng boot loader; it is managed some other way. 3. Install Fedora and the boot loader to a second disk without changing the first disk. Create an EFI partition on the second disk. I use this to make a portable installation on a USB disk. It can also be use for a multi boot setup.
