Hello,
Well I'll sum up what I did so far:
I had ubuntu + windows 10, was working fine but ubuntu was taking too much space on my drive.
Deleted ubuntu partitions, gave the space back to windows, boot into the windows usb drive to perform the bootrec /fixmbr,fixboot commands
Although bootrec /scanos didn't detect any windows installation...I think that's why it doesn't work now. Did the rebuiuldbcd, didn't do anything either.
Anyway at this point I rebooted and it worked like a charm, my windows was loading properly everytime.
Now I installed mint after having an issue with "grub-efi-amd64 package failed to install to /target/"
In order to solve this I had to do something quite ballsy to me at least
I have an SSD 256GB with windows on it and a HD 2TB on which I wanted to install linux
for some very strange reason the boot partition was apparently on the HD, which is weird I would assume it's would be on the SSD
Anyway I deleted the NTFS boot partition and created a 500MB FAT32 boot + esp partition instead
After setting this to be the boot partition it worked, the installation finished successfully
Then reboot, at first I had no grub menu and it was booting directly to mint, searching the web I ended up modifying the etc/default/grub file and perform a grub-update
worked, I now have the grub menu but no windows is listed
I tried to run the repair-boot application, it worked, reinstalled everything, but still no windows
os-prober doesn't return anything
Only linux is listed when performing the grub-update command
fdisk -l command

I've looked on the internet but I have to say that I'm stuck, it may have something to do with the windows side of thing, but still, the issue is in grub so I'm unsure.
I'll highly appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
