Installing Linux After Windows ( Grub and Boot Menu Problems)

Hi Friends some of You Must have faced The problem Of missing OS Selection Menu after you had a fresh installation of linux alongside your Windows..The PC automatically boots to Linux and doesn't give an option to select the OS you want to boot to (Linux or Windows).
Recently I also faced the similar problem..
I had Windows 10 on my PC alongwith Windows 7 and wished to have a third OS as Mint.
I followed the necessary steps and installed Mint succesfully into my system. But I was shocked When I couldnt see the option to choose Windows OS ..

Here Is a simple and easy solution.

  • Start your PC with Linux as the OS.
  • Open the Terminal.
  • Enter the following two commands in the terminal- 
type' sudo os-prober' and press enter.(some processing will take place)
type 'sudo update-grub' and press enter.








  • Now exit the terminal and restart your PC.(Also Make sure that secure boot is disabled in BIOS settings.)
  • You will see Windows and Linux both options for boot .

Thats all..Enjoy both linux and windows..For any queries on boot issues do write.
