All very true! Which is
one reason I asked for
more information. Whereas a dearth of information was forthcoming I decided to elucidate one way of doing it.
Employing the method I described above will leave the Windows boot loader untouched. The user will need to use the laptops Boot Menu to choose which to boot. It is possible to boot into Linux and from there run update-grub and so have the Grub Menu entry for Windows.
Very true. But again, without more information such as which distro may be involved I assumed the most likely scenario. Most of the "big" more popular distros either have the installation of Grub already checked off as the default or pointedly ask if and where one would like to install it. Recently I installed Pop!OS on a multi-boot system and it did not ask or even show any "install Grub" option. It just plowed right over my existing Grub which I found quite annoying :|
I realize I could have been more explicit when asking for "more information" but I sometimes think it is more helpful to encourage a user to "help themselves". (Either that or I am just a cranky old Geek!
) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
