It's now included a chain loader entry for Windows, included below. As you suggested, I tried looking at the man page for grub2-mkconfig. Unfortunately, I don't have that man page installed so I tried googling it. The search pointed me to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2 which has only succeeded in confusing me more. Based on the generated config file below, am I right in thinking that all I need to do to get GRUB to work and to allow me to boot windows is to: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Assuming this is correct, I still need to work out how to get the laptop to boot GRUB instead of the Windows OS Boot loader. # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
