Well if you want to keep Linux, you just need to verify os-prober is enabled in grub and run the command from a terminal in Mint sudo update-grub Windows should be available on the boot menu. If your using a MBR disk that could cause Windows not to show up (too many partitions).

If you want to just go back to Windows. You'll need either a Windows repair disc or Windows Install media. Open a command prompt from that and run bootrec /fixboot

• Insert USB
• Open gparted
• Select the usb and format it to ntfs
• Make sure to set the boot flag on the usb
• Extract the content of the iso and copy it to the disk

Ok I'm waiting for it to make the USB bootable. Another question - am I going to lose my Windows 10 licence after I install it?

You're not installing anything. You are simple restoring the Windows boot record, so no you won't lose anything.
