Issues with "If Windows is installed first" docs

See here.

Firstly, I was confused for a while about step two, before realising that it ought to be combined with step one, since selecting the partition and mount point for the bootloader is done during the installation, not after.

But while drafting a PR to fix that, I realised that, while installing Endeavour OS on my iMac Pro, I was able to ignore step 4* entirely. I automatically just had both Linux and Windows available in the GRUB menu. Is this not universal? Do we know which hardware+software configurations make this unnecessary?

* And therefore step 5, which isn't really a step at all (and 3, but that one is correctly marked as something that only "may" occur).

You are expected to read the whole guide before actually doing anything. It might be clearer if step 2 becomes a substep of step 1, you can make a PR for that.

Grub is a mess, every distro has a different default. If it works for you, you don't need to follow that step.
