I know the Linux community, and I know they are light years better than the Windows community when it comes to knowledge, and actually being willing to help, so I came here instead of going there. and I am unable to remember how to either go back to the Windows boot loader, or even change the time limit of GRUB to either 0 or 1 seconds.Īgain, since Linux is no longer installed how do I manage to change things so that she doesn't have to wait or choose Windows which is the only existing OS on the machine? I don't care if I use Windows or Grub, I just need to make it match what is actually happening on the machine.

Since my wife is using it, and can barely work Windows which she uses at work, I only reinstall windows which uses the existing Windows key to validate.īut now, the BIOS is still using the GRUB, which does the job fine except you either have to wait 30 seconds for it to auto choose Windows, or choose manually. Then I have to replace the hard drive because of a failure. So anyway I get a new laptop passing this one down to my wife who rarely uses a computer, and I set the GRUB to automatically boot Windows. Many years ago I was actually triple booting this machine between W10, Ubuntu ? and another Linux distro that escapes my memory at the moment. Restart the computer without using LiveCD.Dell 5755 laptop, so here goes.Wait until the recovery process is complete.Run the bootloader recovery software from your LiveCD: The computer will automatically boot from LiveCD (the boot sequence should be changed in BIOS or UEFI so that CD or USB comes first). Connect the LiveCD to your computer and turn it on.


Find a LiveCD image which is good enough for your needs, and record it onto a CD\DVD or a flash drive.Such programs can be launched right from LiveCD – they are portable and do not require an operating system to start from the computer’s hard disk. As a rule, such disks feature several programs for bootloader recovery Windows 10. If you don’t have an authentic Windows boot disk at hand, you can load the computer, including for the purpose of recovering the bootloader, with the help of a boot selection disk such as LiveCD.
