Enable auto-start Windows 10 even if the Linux partition is disconnected.
Your laptop should automatically switch to Windows 10 when you plug in the USB drive, but it boots into GRUB by default. To change this behavior, you can configure the GRUB menu settings or set up a bootloader that prioritizes Windows 10. Also, ensure your USB is properly recognized and configured for automatic boot. Let me know if you need help with specific steps!
It seems GRUB might be installed on your main storage instead of the USB port. If you had GRUB set up on the USB, you could have configured your UEFI/BIOS to start with USB and then switch to the internal drive. When the USB is connected, it will boot from there (Linux), but when the USB is removed, it will boot from the internal drive (Windows).
Windows lets you replace the bootloader using its own version, which means you can delete GRUB from your disk. You usually put it on a USB drive, but I’m not sure how I managed to do that without remembering.
