Hence I have listed some additional resources that you may find helpful below. You'll need to run that from a command prompt with administrator rights.īecause your question was a bit vague (unclear about the firmware interface, order you installed the OS's, hard drive configuration, etc.) it's quite difficult to compose a 'one-size fits all' solution. If EasyBCD isn't working for you, or you want another option, there's also a command-line bcdedit tool in built into Windows:

Just to be certain at this stage I might suggest you go back and Write MBR again to make sure your edits above are written. You can also select the order the operating systems are listed here and set the timeout (in seconds) before the default is booted without user input.Ĥ. Click the Edit Boot Menu tab to see the new entry. Modify the name to reflect your Linux distribution (Ubuntu 14.04 in your case?) and click the Add Entry button.ģ. While there, click on the Linux/BSD tab, then select GRUB 2 from the dropdown. This is where you'll add your Ubuntu installation. But this also means that you've now lost GRUB and have no way to boot into Linux anymore.Ģ. If successful a message will appear at the bottom left informing you that the MBR has been written.

This will restore the Windows bootloader to the MBR. Maybe you just didn't have all the required settings selected? There is a nice step-by-step detailing the process here:ġ. I'll need to know more about your hardware configuration and boot order before I can make any more specific recommendations in this regard.Īssuming it's Legacy BIOS, EasyBCD is probably your best option.

The solution might be as simple as setting your Windows 10 hard drive to first. Once in your BIOS or UEFI, check your hard drive boot order. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.ģ. Or, from within Windows 10, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. If there’s not one, or if the screen goes by too fast to see it, check your manufacturer’s site.Ģ.

During startup, there’s often a screen that mentions the key. Common keys used: Esc, Delete, F1, F2, F10, F11, or F12. Boot the PC, and press the manufacturer’s key to open the menus. To check / edit this you'll need to boot into your BIOS or UEFI. For instance, if you have Win 7 / Ubuntu on Drive 1, and Win 10 on Drive 2, and Drive 1 is set as primary, then your system will continue to boot to that drive despite your BCD settings. If this hardware configuration involves more than one hard drive, you might simply be booting to the wrong HD. Note that you can also run msinfo32 from Windows 7, and there is a listing for the BIOS there as well, but because UEFI was not in use yet when that OS was released I think it will just give you your BIOS version, so it's probably best to check this from Win 10 instead. About halfway down your BIOS Mode will be listed. To figure out which firmware interface you're using, in Windows 10 open the Run window (Windows + R) and type msinfo32.

Please elaborate on how you completed the Windows 10 install (if you remember).Īnyway, moving on with the answer. In either case you wouldn't be able to boot into Ubuntu at all. deployed Win 10 in BIOS mode) or subsequently edit the boot settings? One thing that's confusing to me is that, if you installed Windows 10 last then it should have overwritten GRUB 2 in your Master Boot Record (MBR) and/or switched to UEFI (if your motherboard is capable).

How did you install Win 10? Did you apply any special settings (i.e.

It mainly depends on how old your computer is and if Windows 10 came preinstalled.

Are you using UEFI or legacy BIOS? I'm assuming legacy if you had Win 7 first and you were able to dual-boot Linux without too much trouble (many options to change in Win 10 first otherwise), but I could be wrong.

Are these all installed on the same hard drive? If not, which OS's are on which hard drive? Which HD is primary in your boot order?.

Which system did you install last? It sounds like maybe you had Windows 7 preinstalled, then installed Ubuntu, then installed Windows 10?.I have a few questions which might help clarify the solution: Troubleshooting this depends on many factors however.
