    Dual boot Windows10 and Linux Mint


    I am kinda stuck here.I installed windows10on an old dell desktop.Also decided to dualboot with Linux Mint so I
    could play around.Anyway,my grandson would like the computer so I deleted the linux partition.Now when I boot
    up or restart is shows GNU GRUB 2.4 and then a prompt.I then have to type exit and it will boot into windows..I would like to
    get it back to normal for him so he can just boot into windows.Went into bios setup and looked at the boot menu.
    This is how it looks:
    1st.-uefi ubuntu
    2nd.-onboard NIC device
    3rd.-internal odd device
    4th.-usb storage
    5th.-usb floppy.
    Trouble is I don't know what to do with that.Any help would be appreciated,thank-you.Tony

    :)
