    I'm locked out of windows and stuck in my linux


    Hello, I installed ubuntu and attempted to dual boot it with windows. I had windows first and attempted to add ubuntu. I deleted my windows boot manager on accident when creating my ubuntu partitions. I have all of my windows 10 files saved on a different partition, but I can't boot into them. To put this in better words. I have access to ubuntu linux OS only and I need a way to recover my windows efi boot manager or create a new one. I can't erase any of the data from my windows 10 that I have saved in a windows partition.


    My partitions:

    NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
    nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 400M 0 part
    nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 954M 0 part /boot/efi
    nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 128M 0 part
    nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 91G 0 part unknown
    nvme0n1p5 259:5 0 8.2G 0 part [SWAP]
    nvme0n1p6 259:6 0 111.8G 0 part ubuntu


    It says the partition I made for my windows, nvme0n1p4 is "unknown". I do have grub2 installed. I had to manually install it and I tried my best to set it up, but it's not working either. I'm not sure what to do, any advice or help would be appreciated thanks!

    :)

    considering linux

    You can dual boot so that you can get experience with Linux without being stuck with no windows.

    I wouldn't really suggest linux for gaming. There are usually linux drivers out for graphics cards but most games are for install on Windows.

    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.

    Switch to Linux ??

    Find a suitable Linux forum and request comments from people who converted from Linux to Windows, in particular on

    • Stability
    • Ease of use
    • Availability of external help in case of trouble
    • Availability of applications, games
    • Data exchange with the Windows world
