I have installed windows 10 and fedora 25 on my laptop but I don't
want grub 2 as my bootloader I need Windows 10 bootloader as default
I will share one image what I want please help regarding this
Typically in this case, Grub is the first bootloader, and it can create the environment needed for the Windows bootloader to take-over if you decide to boot that operating system. (Windows must be booted by its own loader.) This is called, I believe, "chain loading."
Windows' loader does not know how to "share the computer" with any other loader. It does not give you an option or a menu. But, Grub does.
It would seem that if you want the windows bootloader to be in charge you would bebetter off posting at a windows or microsoft forum where people are more familiar with the windows bootloader.
It is possible to use bcdedit to create and boot a Linux system but it is a convoluted 10+ step process. I've only done it with MBR systems as a test and don't know how it would work with UEFI.
M$ (Win10) might not allow this. -I- would use VirtualBox (and not 'disturb' M$Win)
Here: "the Windows boot manager running in UEFI mode does not support the loading of" ... non-M$ OSes
(hmmm... is /d419c063-6fa0-4a99-b618-ffb5d0844541 in that link, M$ tracking of my IP+DNA fingerprint?)
Yes, this would be a M$ question. p.s. what model PC? p.p.s. Try bcdedit
If your system is MBR then the link below explains how to create boot entries for Linux using bcdedit. I'm not sure why you keep returning here as your question is specifically and exclusively about how to use the proprietary Microsoft windows software which you have been told multiple times. There is also a page at the microsoft site explaining it but I don't have it bookmarked so you might try an online search for that.
