Boot to windows GRUB - load the kernel first

Post by Rebootwindows »

I changed my OS to Linux Mint and am trying to change it back to Windows 10. I installed Windows 10 onto my usb stick. I disabled the Macintosh devices which must be my actual laptop and enabled the usb stick. Then I'm in GRUb cli.

I set the prefix:

Code: Select all

set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/Win10_21H1_English_x64/Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso
2. Set root:

Code: Select all

set root=(hd0,msdos1)
3.

Code: Select all

chainloder /Win10_21H1_English_x64/Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso 
This reloads grub and when I run

Code: Select all

boot
, I receive

Code: Select all

error: you need to load the kernel first.
I tried to load the kernel but don't know what a root partition is and just struggling to get it to work.

Also, if I don't disable the other devices which I presume is my actul laptop, it just restarts my laptop normally (with Linux Mint OS).
Can someone please help? I'm new to this. Any help would be appreciated.
