Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.

 

In order to achieve what you need, please read these articles and follow the steps.

You need to first remove Ubuntu from the EFI partition (actually, I think ths is what you see)

 

After that you can remove GRUB from the HDD MBR by using bootrec.exe /fixmbr and  Bootrec.exe /FixBoot  (this is done using Windows recovery CD/DVD or with Windows 10 - >from the ISO)
