Hey guys I downloaded Ubuntu following a you tube tutorial to dual boot and put it on separate partition and when I do boot it, it only gives me option to boot into Ubuntu - I've also changed boot priorities and it still boots into Ubuntu, now I think i have messed something up for sure. I have tried updating via terminal, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated highly :) ?

I can also access files from the harddrive windows 10 is on so that also is a good thing lol just wont let me boot into windows 10 :(

Update your GRUB boot-manager to add Windows 10 to your Grub menu.

The command to update GRUB is:
(In the commands you see a $ prompt. That is the prompt you see on the terminal. It's showing that the commands are typed from a normal user logon which is strongly encouraged by the Ubuntu community. The # prompt would be showed if the user was at a root logon. The prompt would also be different if you were in an app such as the mysql> prompt for a terminal mysql session.)

$ sudo update-grub

While you are at it, since this is a fresh install you should update libraries and packages with:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt full-upgrade
$ sudo update-grub

The GRUB update will add all the detected Operation systems to the Grub Menu. It may not detect the Windows 10 installation if it's in a hibernation state.

To remove Windows 10 from Hibernation, run a Windows 10 repair program.

Install Windows Boot Manager

From the Windows Installation disk, click Repair your computer on the second screen -> (click) Troubleshoot -> Advance options -> Command Prompt -> Run these commands one after the other:

x:\Sources>bootrec /RebuildBcd
x:\Sources>bootrec /fixMbr
x:\Sources>bootrec /fixboot
x:\Sources>exit

(the x:\Sources> is the command prompt. Type in the commands after the prompt and press enter. Run each of them in the order presented.)

Click on the option to Turn Off PC. Then Reboot into Windows. While in Windows Disable the Hibernation.

After this repair, it may overwrite your Grub installation. You can fix this by following the steps provided at:
Installing Windows 10 on partition removed Ubuntu option for UEFI

  • When I try to start repair it doesn't do it, it says Start up repair couldn't repair your PC, Press advanced options to try other options to repair your PC or shut down to turn off. Anything else I can try ? :( – ngolokante7 Mar 21 '17 at 13:19
