I'm completly new to linux and before judging it harshly I thought I may as well give it a go. Deepin looked user friendly enough so I decided to partition it 40GB. All went well and when I rebooted I was given the boot menu with options like

>Deepin
>Windows Boot Loader

I assumed windows boot loader would boot back up windows 10, and so if I need to switch between them I would just use this menu everytime it booted up, or I assumed because the boot loader was deepins, that windows would have it's own version of this. Upon booting into windows 10 and restarting I see it does not.

How can I get back into deepin, and how can I switch from them both, from both versions.

Thanks!

toolHi. You can quickly download and use the following tool that will allow you to boot into W10 or Deepin. I would suggest that you boot into Deepin and "sudo update-grub" and reboot and see if you can now boot into both W10 and/or Deepin. Good luck. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

Hi. When you are booted into and running Deepin, do you have Deepin set to boot first in your boot menu in the control panel? Also, if you installed "grub customizer" in Deepin, you should be able to configure which OS boots first. Good luck.
