    How to start Win 10 from Linux with no MBR


    I have been trying to duel boot Win 10 with Linux. I got Linux installed and working but when I try to boot to Win 10 it doesn't work. I used Reflect to installed a backup of C Drive and then a repair of boot. The image worked but the boot repair did not.

    At this point I'm stuck in Linux with no boot into Windows.
    I have the current ver of Win 10 Home with all updates. I can't give the correct ver of Win 10 since I'm Linux.

    Any help with this?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.

    Downloading Win 10 & creating an USB bootable Win 10 MBR flash drive using Media Creation Tool .

    Dave & Andre, I created stick with Media Creation Tool but I cannot download no ISO on my PC. I know that MBR is for oldest hdd and GPT for the newest but if we want dual boot Win 10 & Linux the MBR type is so useful in this case. That's why i want to
    create USB bootable Win 10 MBR flash drive. Dave, i can see that your C partition is NTFS but i don't know if is GPT or MBR style. I think if you use comand diskpart and select disk, in comand prompt you will be able to see if is MBR or GPT. How to start Win 10 from Linux with no MBR ;)

    Win 10 MBR trashed, how to reinstall?

    Hello all,

    Several months ago, I purchased a Dell desktop with Win 8.1, and subsequently upgraded it to Win 10.

    I've noticed that my backups have been failing with errors, and this seemed to be a common problem.

    Now, my Win 10 MBR has gotten trashed; I can only run my system by booting Linux off of a USB drive.

    Not a single Win recovery tool I have seems to work.

    How can I reinstall Win 10? Is there some way that I can ask Microsoft to let me download a Win10

    Home Edition iso or install disk?

    Thanks for any help!
