Directly booting to Ubuntu 14.04 without a Windows boot option

Question

I cannot see a way to boot to Windows after I installed Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

My laptop is directly booting into Ubuntu.

Any help on how to be able to be able to boot to Windows would be appreciated.

So, no GRUB screen at all? Sounds like you need to "repair GRUB". — Zeiss Ikon, Dec 30, 2014 at 11:06

Did you try updating the grub with sudo update-grub? It will tell you if windows partition is detected. If it is detected just reboot.

Yw @shubhi-dimri. Well, you can use sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda to see what partitions you have on Ubuntu. The Windows partition, I suppose, will appear as HPFS/NTFS/exFAT.
