Hello everyone. So couple of days ago I was given college project that needs to be done in Linux OS. I googled it a bit and decided to do dual boot on my Windows 10. I found some youtube tutorial and did everything (?) correctly. However, after restarting my PC, no Windows option is shown. Only three of them: run Linux Mint, run Linux Mint in compatibility mode and some option regarding setup. My files from Windows were not deleted but now I want to delete Linux and get back my Windows. Any help? I'm getting desperate now.
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user’s issue with dual-booting Windows 10 and Linux Mint, where the Windows option no longer appears in the boot menu after installation. The user seeks to remove Linux and restore Windows boot, to which another contributor advises using boot repair methods or a Windows recovery disk, and explains how to prepare a bootable Windows USB from Linux. Ultimately, the user successfully restores Windows and expresses gratitude, indicating a positive resolution.

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
