My problem is the following: i have 2 hds, one with eos and the other one with windows 7 (at least i had) my problem is that since i formated the hd with windows 7 to install windows 10 grub is still showing windows 7 and if i try to boot that hd it will fail, do i need to regenerate grub or maybe update it ? thanks
You probably need to delete/modify the config for Windows in /etc/grub.d
If you delete it, enable os-prober in /etc/default/grub and run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

i dont see any windows file inside grub.d
In that case, you can skip that step and do the other steps.
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false, do i need to set this to true ?
No, that is correct. You probably just need to run the last command.
Thanks, is there any risk to run that command ?
Yes.
i ran that command maybe a few weeks ago. so it should be pretty much okay to run it again i guess ?
Yes, in most cases it will be fine.
i ran the command and it cleared windows 7 on grub, but now it only shows both options to boot eos, how can i make grub show the hd with windows 10 ?
Can you share the full output from the command sudo grub-mkconfig

It looks like os-prober is running but not detecting your Windows partition.
maybe if i set the hd windows 10 as primary boot order this could help ?
The most common reason is that your Linux is EFI and your windows BIOS or the opposite.
They either need to both be installed in BIOS mode or both in UEFI.
i think i’ll just use quick boot menu instead, thanks for the help
think you could add windows to grub.d/40_custom
so i just add ‘windows’ at the end of the 40_custom file ?
I don’t think that will work if one is UEFI and the other BIOS/MBR.
