[QUOTE="cielopearly, post: 93, member: 4"] When you install a version of Windows 10 in dual boot with another version of the Windows operating system, the operating system displays the dual-boot menu (also known as the OS selection menu) so that users can select the Windows OS they want to boot to. However, at times, especially after upgrading Windows 10 to a newer version, the boot menu might go missing. In other words, the dual boot menu might not appear when you start your PC. [ATTACH type="full"]86[/ATTACH] If the dual boot menu is missing from your Windows 10 PC, you can restore it with ease. Following are the three ways out there to restore the missing dual boot menu in Windows 10.
