So after a night full of tries, I finally decided to give up and ask here. I've installed xubuntu i384 on my PC which usually runs on win 10. After following carefully a guide I saw on the internet how to install xubuntu everything went smooth ( I made sure I chose something else and not to overwrite my windows). Whatsoever, I can't boot into windows. I Tried :

  1. The "fix GRUB" sudo upgrade-grubcommand I saw on a many threads here. Tried it with both superuser permissions and without but no luck.
  2. Boot Repair: After I couldn't figure out how to use it within I burned it onto a USB stick I have using rufus and tried to boot it - the x64 version actually booted but It said I should use the x32 version - which won't even boot.

  3. Tried burning windows image on a USB stick to go the Troubleshooting screen but it's still won't detect my windows.

    Any Help?

Edit : After trying boot repair and installing it from terminal now I'm stuck in bios where neither (Windows and ubuntu) aren't working and now I can't boot. I tried to boot windows once again using a USB stick that I burned an ISO of windows 10 on it - whatsoever it still only leads to the purple installation screen and none of the troubleshooting options are working. I tried going further on the windows installation and found out the windows partition (or at least the one I think) was unallocated (and apparentely empty) after allocating it ubuntu won't boot. In a need of some deseperate help.

  • What "fix GRUB" command have you used? Possibly `sudo update-grub`? – Jos Feb 17 '20 at 15:27
  • Indeed that's the one – SyCo Feb 17 '20 at 15:30

    Does this answer your question? [Unable to boot into Windows after installing Ubuntu, how to fix?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/217904/unable-to-boot-into-windows-after-installing-ubuntu-how-to-fix) – karel Feb 17 '20 at 16:40
  • Nope, terminal says Gedit command not found – SyCo Feb 17 '20 at 22:09
  • GEdit is just a text editor. You can use other editors such as nano, vi. Or you can install GEdit using `sudo apt install gedit`. – Kulfy Feb 19 '20 at 12:49
