My laptop uses Windows 10 Pro. I experimented with Ubuntu on the same drive and everything worked smoothly with Dual Boot. Later, I tried Pop!OS and installed it on the old Ubuntu partition. Now I’m facing issues—I can only run Pop!OS and dual boot is no longer available. Please assist urgently. Thank you.

Consider using an MS recovery USB stick. Check if the media creation tool is available for download from Microsoft and install it on a USB drive before attempting repairs. It could be worth trying. For better security, you might prefer installing VirtualBox on your PC and building virtual machines with various Linux distributions—much safer and more enjoyable.

Verify Windows remains in its partition and that PopOS didn’t completely erase the drive. 3) Locate guides for modifying Grub settings or consider using a Grub management utility for PopOS—this might only require reactivating the Windows entry. I’m not sure about the exact steps, but a search should point you to some solutions.
