If we don't learn we are dead.
You do all work thru Grub2Win. At the bottom of the grub2win window click on the Manage Boot Menu button. On the next screen click on Add a New Entry. And don't forget to add one for Windows.
Interesting Google search results "yumi" produces. Are you sure Yumi was the app you used?

If you mean syslinux menu, then yes, it don't use it at all.
Oops
I forgot to mention something what is obvious for me, but not necessarily to some 
1. In YUMI can you select microSD card?
Although i've stayed away from Porteus for much too long to be of any real use i'd suggest you first download ISO images by the dozen searching for one with 'bootia32.efi' present, as it is mandatory to boot via such hybrid 32/64 boot systems. Then perhaps you'll want to copy your rare ISO selection on a Ventoy drive previously created on your flash memory card (it won't accept a fixed main drive anyway). Ventoy can be run under both Windows or Linux by the way... Alternately you could simply get rid of Windows (taking care to backup all partitions including its ESP actually searched at boot time by UEFi systems). A successful Linux install might provide suitable tools while leaving plenty of space for yet another permanent partition where to have Porteus instead, in frugal mode or else, assuming the script is clever enough to edit a GrUB boot menu safely (sometimes the whole setup completes but failure still occurs after a reboot)... Another hint may be to check with YUMi-UEFi but i've noticed too few Linux breeds took advantage of any such resources a few years ago, plus i bet future Porteus releases might still break their own boot procedure eventually. So you're probably in a better position to inspire me new solution than the opposite. Good luck with that!
Have you ever tried it? This is my grub2 code that displays it on my USB drive.i3slkiller wrote: ↑14 Dec 2023, 18:08If you mean syslinux menu, then yes, it don't use it at all.Ed_P wrote: ↑December 13th, 2023, 4:45 pm wrote: They don't boot the Porteus menu do they??

}I have never heard of a 64-bit system with a 32-bit EFI. No Windows system has it. What brand pcs are you referring to?
I didn't tried yours (nor similar ones), instead I focused on "chainloader" command (which is in your config), which fails if tried to boot "bootx64.efi" on 32-bit uefi (tested on vmware because I don't have any 32-bit uefi hardware).
vmware Does vmware not support 64-bit uefi? 
Obviously I've never tried vmware.VMware supports 64-bit efi if selected 64-bit version of system (for example 'Windows 10 64-bit'), in this case I selected 'Windows 10' (32-bit) (if you have VMware Player, you have to add 'firmware = "efi"' to vmx file corresponding to virtual machine). BTW it has little to do with trying to run Porteus on this Acer.
