Product: Pavilion Notebook N5P53U#ABL
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I bought a used HP Pavilion Notebook the had Ubuntu. I've installed Windows 10 Family 64 bit. I'm stuck with Grub, some kind of boot manager under Linux. How can I get my laptop to boot directly from Windows and not go though Grub?

Best regards.

@ghtur 

When you removed Ubuntu without resetting the boot to Windows, you removed the filesystem that contains the GRUB files.  So the boot loader is still trying to find those files, but they are not there.

 

Here are some instructions that might help:  https://www.blackmoreops.com/2018/09/27/remove-grub-bootloader-from-windows/
