Re: Regarding dual boot

Sorry dear!
I tried with all genuine methods and installed debian 8.1.
But whoa! I lost my activated version of Windows 10. I WAS able to access
all my hard drives as I did a proper shutdown but the grub os list showed
no link to windows.
I reinstalled windows 10 and still am eager to run linux flawlessly.
Please guide me.
