Sure, I can help with that. You can add Ubuntu to the Windows 10 boot manager by using a tool like EaseUS Boot Camp or another ISO installation utility. Make sure you have the correct ISO file for Ubuntu and follow the installation steps within the boot manager. If UEFI causes issues, ensure your BIOS is set to boot from USB or a bootable media.

Usually it’s simpler to reverse the process. Installing Linux after Windows tends to automatically add Windows to the bootloader. Doing it the other way is more complicated and risks issues after updates.

The main goal is having Windows 10 as the default operating system, since the option to set it from GRUB isn’t available. I also prefer the Windows boot manager interface over GRUB. In a worst-case scenario, I was thinking about making Windows Boot Manager the default in BIOS and using a boot override to switch to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu includes Grub-customizer, allowing you to define the default settings. It functions on Fedora after reaching a certain number of kernel entries, ensuring the Windows boot entry ID remains stable.

I’m not confident about that, I haven’t started using Ubuntu for the first time.

Linux installation will automatically include Windows in grub. Adjust grub-customizer to make Windows the default.

It seems the package isn't part of the basic Ubuntu release. I had to add it myself. After installing the Nvidia driver, Ubuntu couldn't start because of shim secure boot—needed to turn it off so I could boot into Ubuntu. It looks like Grub is the only option available, and using the customizer helped shorten the timeout. In Windows 10, secure boot works through the BIOS instead of Ubuntu (Shim).
