For the size of the swap partition, 4 GB is now standard on 64-bit-capable computers, which is what I assigned to it on the test system. Continue.

Step 7 – Complete Related and Important Installation Tasks:
Back for the last time at the main disk partitioning window, you need to check that the EFI Boot Partition, which is partition #2 on the system used for this tutorial, was detected as the device for boot loader installation by the installer. That’s necessary because in previous editions of Kali Linux, the EFI Boot Partition was never detected, which led to installation failures.

To check the partition, select it, then click Continue.

Cool! The installer correctly detected it as the device for boot loader installation, so you don’t have to make any changes. Select Done setting up the partition. Continue.

You can complete the installation without using a network mirror, but if you have a working Internet access, it’s best to select Yes here, then click Continue.

After a successful installation, the computer, by default, should reboot into Kali Linux 2. And at the GRUB menu, you can select the Windows Boot Manager entry to boot into Windows 10.
