you certain that /dev/sda9 only contains your home folder ?

Hello,

The more "interesting" way (if you want to learn how it works?) would be
to boot from an external media, mount the newly installed F26 and
`chroot` into it. From this point, you should be able to restore grub :

* this page from archwiki explains how to install grub on a UEFI system
: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#UEFI_systems

* /!\ You may want to run `os-prober` in order to check if the windows
installation is properly detected.

* the "proper" EFI partition is most likely /dev/sda1

Yeah, it sees it.



%sudo os-prober
/dev/sda1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi:Windows Boot Manager:Windows:efi

... and I can boot into Windows from the same menu that has the old F25 kernels listed.

I think I'll just delete all the linux partitions, and delete the "fedora" directory of the EFI directory on /dev/sda1 and try again. What's the worst that can happen?
