Both Windows and Linux install \EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi because that's the
default that gets run if there aren't any BootXXXX variables.
And yes, Windows 10 does install there. On my system I have
/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi and \EFI\Microsoft\{Boot,Recovery}, where
/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi is the same binary as bootmgfw.efi.
I'm not convinced this is something that's about older systems, and that
will go away.
