I've just finished installing Ubuntu, and now have Ubuntu in one partition and Windows 8 in another. I was under the impression that when my computer starts, I would be able to choose from a menu which one to run. However, what happens instead is that Ubuntu runs automatically if I don't press anything, or if I press escape I get a menu which includes only ubuntu and something called memtest - no Windows.

How am I supposed to run Windows?

Please avoid too much technical language and give me step by step instructions wherever possible.

Try using the command sudo update-grub.

I think you need to reinstall grub loader in order to display both Ubuntu and Windows at startup.

You can do it with boot-repair software, it will install grub on your system.

Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+t and give following command to install and run boot-repair software.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (sudo boot-repair &)

boot-repair

Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, reboot your system and check that you can access both Ubuntu and Windows or not.
