I made clean install of Windows 7, left some space unallocated on SSD and during subsequent Mint 18.3 install with default "Alongside" option did not got Windows in grub boot menu.

I write this mainly duplicate because the solution was simpler than in other questions I found here, see my answer.

  • @karel, I made clean install of newest Mint and got problem. The solution is simple and in such shortness is not documented in suggested link and IMHO is valuable to new Mint users. Fill free to edit or delete if consider otherwise. – Alex Martian Feb 17 '18 at 16:31
  • @karel, I see my mistake, I will add my answer to suggested link, the question is indeed duplicate. – Alex Martian Feb 17 '18 at 16:34
  • Karim Mokhtar already posted the same answer there: https://askubuntu.com/questions/217904/unable-to-boot-into-windows-after-installing-ubuntu-how-to-fix/945988#945988. It's a good answer. Somebody should give it another upvote like I did. I read your answer that you posted here was how I knew it was a duplicate question. – karel Feb 17 '18 at 17:17

Just ran command below in Mint and Windows 7 was added to grub menu along with Memtest btw. 

sudo update-grub

Thanks for the tip goes to more lengthy:

Windows 7 not shown in GRUB menu, will not boot via BIOS, after Linux Mint clean install

Some developer, please add this to installer.
