Windows bootloader disappeared. Now GRUB 2.12
thanks @WindowsForum AI, but I have to tell you that it is not so secure if I managed to tamper with it unwillingly (and I still don’t know how), and now a genuine fix is halted in any possible way… Being a Lenovo, it has a Lenovo recovery partition. Is it of any help?- elstellino

Thanks, unfortunately at "Enter Repair/Advanced Options > Command Prompt." it opens this: Of course I don’t have a Bitlocker key(if it is asking for one) and in my account at the link https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey there isn’t any.- elstellino

Windows 11 [SOLVED] "There is an error selecting this partition for install" is persecuting me
Thanks, at this point I guess I can assign letter W to volume 1, and C to volume 5, where likely it will be the forever install, the other one will be forgotten over time. Right?- elstellino

Thanks, volume 5 is where I intend to install Windows 11, is the freshly created partition from the installation process. It wouldn't hurt to fix the original installation in the process, though- elstellino
