Windows 10: Help needed recovering Windows from dual boot with Ubuntu

Hi everyone, I dual booted Ubuntu on my laptop with Windows a little while back, and a big Windows update broke the bootloader so I cannot start up Windows now.


Unfortunately I did not create a recovery drive prior to this, but I was considering going to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO and getting that ISO on a usb drive, starting that up from the boot menu and running whatever option there is on there to fix the boot files or maybe bootrec /fixmbr from the command line on there to fix the boot files.


However, I am concerned I would be using an iso that has different properties from the computer that needs to be repaired. The computer to be repaired is a Windows 10 64-bit Pro version, but if I downloaded the ISO at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO I would download a Windows 10 64-bit version but I would not know if it was Pro or Home, and I don't know what layer of updates it has.


Is the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO like a factory version of Windows? Would using this ISO be alright to repair the boot files?


I greatly appreciate anyone's help out there, I have been trying to solve this for a while. I can provide more details if needed, I just wanted to make this simple for people to understand.

Uninstall Ubuntu Dual boot and Repairing Dual Boot in Windows 10

Hello.

I had dual-booted my Dell laptop which came with preinstalled Windows 10. I had dual booted with Ubuntu 16.04 by creating a partition on the disk. To remove this dual boot, i.e. I only wanted to keep Windows 10, I formatted the disk, drive F(in my case),
where Ubuntu was stored. But, now whenever I boot my system, a black grub screen comes with the following message:

"Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device completions.

grub> _"

Upon writing 'exit', I am able to enter Windows.

1. I wish to know the reason behind it and how it can be removed.

2. I found this site, Uninstall Ubuntu Dual boot, I went ahead and performed all the steps. But somehow
ended up with this error.

Also, I saw your reply on this thread Repairing Dual Boot in Windows 10.
But it did not help me to remove my error. I will really appreciate your help in removing this error.

Thank you.

dual boot xp and ubuntu

I had that problem a few months ago, but dual-booting is really easy. I am currently dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Use this website here for a guide to dual-booting XP and Ubuntu: APC's October issue is on sale now! | TechRadar (I actually did not use this guide at all, but I did pretty much the same thing!)

If you are unable to get your boot working with this guide, reply to this message, and I will write out a step-by-step guide, but it will involve you already having a partition set out for XP (as in you are not already using your entire hard drive space for XP alone.) Even though I write the guide with experience from Vista, it will work with XP
