Win10, Kali & CentOS triple boot
 
Hey Guys,

I am not able to boot into my Windows 10 partition since it is not listed on CentOS 7 grub menu. Kali & CentOS are listed and they both boot up fine.

First, I installed Windows 10 as Primary Partition with 140GB. Booted okay

Second, I installed Kali2019.1a as Primary partition with 40GB (no swap). Kali grub showed Win10 and Kali OSs and booted to both okay.

Third, I installed CentOS as extended partition with 59GB and 5G of swap. Also chose to encrypt the CentOS installation. Centos Grub shows Kali and CentOS and booted to both okay.

is there any configuration I have to do for CentOS 7 to show Windows 10 OS on Grub?

Lenovo B40-80 laptop with a 250GB Intel SSD.
Thank you!

You don't show an EFI partition which is unusual for windows 10. That means a Legacy/MBR install. First thing I would try is to boot CentOS and open a terminal as root user and run the command below:

Code:
grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Watch the output in the terminal to see if a windows entry is detected. If not, go to the link below and go through the steps. It's not possible to tell what the first partition is, a windows boot partition or a Recovery partition. If it is not a boot partition, you may need to change the boot/active from sda1 to sda2.

Yancek,

yes, I have Legacy/MBR for Windows 10.

Thank you for your help! I followed the steps above and now I am able to boot to Windows 10.

for kicks, I installed a Centos 7 VM and attempted to update. I got the same error message.
Thank you all!
