I finally decided I would dual boot my windows 11 machine with Linux. I shrunk my windows partition, installed fedora, and it is working great. The problem is that I cannot get back to windows as it is not in the Grub menu.

I can see the files are still there but I am not too sure where to go from here as to how to get it into the Grub menu so I can boot back into it.

Any help would be appreciated!

You probably need to install os-prober on your Fedora installation, which is a tool that enhances GRUB to explicitly look for bootable OS's on non-primary partitions.

So, install os-prober with RPM, and then update GRUB: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Updating_the_GRUB_configuration_file

Good luck!

  • Unfortunately, this did not help. I tried to install os-prober but it said I already had it installed. I made sure my windows partition was mounted. I then updated grub and the output of that command was "Generating grub configuration file ... Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ... done" I still do not see windows in the grub menu Commented Aug 31, 2022 at 13:24
  • It could very well be that fedora installed over the Windows EFI and it it must be rebuild somehow. Would you mind sharing your partition scheme in your original question? Commented Aug 31, 2022 at 22:32
