![]() ![]() Anyway, moving Win 10 to the top and disabling the other boot options (including Ubuntu, which is how Mint appears to be labelled there) made no difference. Up until today, Windows 10 was an option but now it's gone, probably because I inadvertently made it disappear with one of the actions below (or another one I can't recall). ![]() I went into the BIOS and changing the boot order priority. So what have I done to resolve this so far? Well, here's a summary of some of the actions I've attempted over two to three days (as recommended by various people on a range of different websites and forums): In hindsight, this was rather idiotic.and now here I am. So I just launched right into the process with no fallback position. I just can't boot into Win 10! Foolishly, I didn't create a system image before attempting the Mint installation, because I'm impulsive and occasionally impatient.

During the Mint installation, I was prompted to select a location for it and accepted the suggested 1Tb drive location. Mint 64-bit was installed alongside Win 10 64-bit.

So I'm calling on your collective wisdom and expertise to hopefully get this resolved. ![]() It simply won't boot up and nothing I've done over the last few days has rectified it. The installation was straightforward and occurred without any issues whatsoever, but then I discovered that I couldn't return to Windows 10.
