Hi,

Does R10 support dual boot UEFI with Windows 10?

What is being used to reduce laptop power usage? The usual Powertop or something extra...

I ask because trying various distros, after tweaking the battery life was very similar across them all except ubuntu 16.04 (which has a lot of problems to this day). The main thing I did was use powertop on startup, auto self tune then some extra hand edited things related in its config file.

Regards,
Rauli

R10 comes with Powertop installed. Ubuntu does support dual boot UEFI, so R10 should do so too as far as I know. Link to how to below;

To be clear about it, I have not tried the dual boot guide. And there are probably many more, this were just the first that Google threw at me. :)
