| OK this might be my OCD, but I do not like how grab two detects Windows 10 as Vista. Is there a permanent fix?. Does not happen on other Distros I have used. |

Just a hunch, but you could try editing the file /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober and changing the following line:
| Code: | | Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*|Windows\ Server\ 2008*) |
to:
| Code: | | Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*|Windows\ Server\ 2008*|Windows\ 10*) |
and then re-run grub-mkconfig as usual.

I too have noticed that my Windows 10 partition was getting detected as Windows Vista on my Gentoo rig. My partner's computer is a very similar dual-boot setup except for the distro, which is Ubuntu, and grub detects Windows 10 properly on it. So I checked on versions, and this is what I found: Gentoo's stable version of sys-boot/os-prober is 1.65, and Ubuntu's os-prober package is 1.70. After unmasking and emerging sys-boot/os-prober-1.70 I now have Windows 10 properly getting detected on my Gentoo box.
Added | Code: | | =sys-boot/os-prober-1.70 ~amd64 |
to /etc/portage/package.keywords, then issued
| Code: | | emerge sys-boot/os-prober |
as root. Change your keyword string as appropriate to your setup, and good luck!
