Just here to lend a hand in searching for a solution. I'm just getting into Linux/Ubuntu and thought I'd meet some new peeps.

#

I found this in my search, I'm hoping it'll help ya out,
Boot your computer using the Windows installation media and select "Repair your computer."

Select "Troubleshoot" and then "Advanced options."

Select "Command Prompt."

Run the following commands:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Once the process is complete, restart your computer and check if the Windows boot loader has been restored.

If the above steps don't work, you can try using the "bcdedit" command to manually recreate the boot entries. You can find detailed instructions for using this command online.

If you still can't get your boot loader back, you may need to perform a fresh installation of Windows, which will erase all the data on your hard drive. Before doing this, make sure to back up all your important data.

Found this, hope it clears somethings up.

1 System update or upgrade: If a system update or upgrade caused the boot loader to be overwritten, it may have cleared the boot loader from the NVRAM.

2 Disk issues: If there were issues with the hard drive, such as disk corruption or damage, the boot loader may have been lost from the NVRAM.

3 Malware or virus: Malware or viruses can cause changes to the system, including clearing the boot loader from the NVRAM.

4 Human error: Accidentally wiping the NVRAM, or changing boot configuration settings, can also clear the boot loader.

To resolve this issue, you can try to repair the boot loader using the Windows installation media, or by using a boot repair tool such as EasyBCD or BCDEdit.

It is important to note that these steps may not be the same for all systems, and you should consult the documentation or support resources for your specific Windows version to get more information on resolving boot problems. Additionally, backing up important data before attempting any repairs is always a good idea

Just to clarify, I don't work for Microsoft and I don't have any official relations with the company. I'm just here to help in any way I can. So apologies for not mentioning that in the beginning. School work and fam today, but I'll be around. JG_RainbowFrog

Personally I just started using a second PC for just this. I Didn't want any issues. I'm doing an install of Ubuntu with Virtual Box on my main.

#

I got a second ext hdd to try as well. I hate partitioning drives unless I really have to.

Its okay!... You can at least have your windows back...provided your windows files are still intact!...
Do you see windows automatic repair..popping up?..or it doesnt even boot and goes straight to uefi/bios?..
If you dont see any recovery then
you need to prepare a bootable windows usb(using another laptop or pc)
Knock me when... You have done that..
