I had Windows 8 running and then tried dual boot. Once Ubuntu was installed, Win 8 wasn't showing up in my GRUB loader, also not in the original laptop Boot Loader (Windows Boot Loader? - from there I can start towards ubuntu too).

I tried more or less all methods proposed in GRUB does not detect Windows as well as in similar questions (sorry to "ask again": solutions proposed were not succesful in my case), inclusive boot-repair: here is the log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6vFGKFKpbH/

Still not able to find Windows 8 in GRUB after that (only ubuntu). Looks like os-prober can't detect windows on my /dev/sda2 partition. Any clues ?

Here is how my partitions look like:

Disk sda: 931.53 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors

Partition table entries are not in disk order.

sda2 with 842.5G doesn't sound right...

Where is the issue? Thanks in advance for advice!
