boot Mint + Windows 10. I wanted to have Ubuntu instead of Mint. The computer is a HP-EliteBook-Folio-1040-G1 - so new and it seems to have UEFI, not sure though.
I started the Ubuntu installation. Mint was installed in 1 partition, no swap, etc. There were 3 partitions. 2 ntfs, and 1 ext4.
I removed the ext4 partition, selected free space, create a new mountpoint /
and started the installation.
The installation could not be started because of the error No EFI System Partition was found
.
So I create also a swap partition and a 700MB EFI partition ot of that free spaced from the old Mint. The NTFS partitions are intact.
Now the installation was good.
Problem: after restarting the PC it is running immediately Ubuntu. Grub is not appearing.
I would like to have the GRUB loader appear and give the possibility to choose Ubuntu or Windows.
This is the situation:
sudo fsblk
[sudo] password for username:
sudo: fsblk: command not found
sudo df -h

EDIT:
To answer the comments:
If I press Esc during boot this screen appears:
When I select F9, the following appears:
When I click Os boot manager I get:

Both these two choices start Ubuntu, but not Grub appears
And should it help, here is the bios:
