I explained the situation in the title. The PC isn’t starting into Windows. I’m working on fixing my friend’s PC, so I’m not familiar with any details before this happened. From what I understand, he switched back from Windows 11 to Windows 10, and then it stopped booting into Windows. I made a flash drive using Ventoy with several ISO files, which can start Linux Mint or Ubuntu, but Windows ISO files won’t work at all. It seems I might be asking the wrong questions, since searching doesn’t give clear guidance on the problem or possible solutions. I’m trying to boot from any drive, but it just asks to restart and adjust the boot order in BIOS (I don’t remember the exact steps). Both drives are seen in Linux with their data, though I’m really confused about Linux setup. I can’t access the files inside these drives even though they’re recognized, and I’m not confident I’m doing anything right. Any advice or help would be very much appreciated!
