I have installed OpenSUSE Leap on an MS Windows (10 Home) laptop and it now only offers Linux in the boot menu. How can I get Windows into the boot menu?
Leap is currently 15.1¹, having been upgraded at least once, though I do not remember which versions I have had. I do not remember ever telling it not to support booting Windows. The hardware is an Acer Aspire V Nitro laptop bought in Germany in 2015.
In /boot/efi/EFI
I see only bootx64.efi
, fallback.efi
and MokManager.efi
, while on my normal system (which can boot both Linux and Windows) /boot/efi/EFI
has a subdirectory Microsoft/Boot
.
I have these file systems:
/dev/sda1
(600 Mib) NTFS, “Basic data partition”, labelRecovery
(not mounted in Linux)/dev/sda2
(300 Mib) FAT16 “EFI system partition”, mounted in Linux as/boot/efi
/dev/sda3
(128 MiB) “Microsoft reserved partition”, unknown file system, flagsmsftres
(not mounted in Linux)/dev/sda4
(190 GiB) NTFS “Basic data partition”, accessible in Linux as/run/media/Acer
, flagsmsftdata
, contains the Windows file system.- I have no reason to suppose these files are damaged; the file
osver.txt
says10.0.17134
.
- I have no reason to suppose these files are damaged; the file
/dev/sda5
(12 MiB), Linux-swap, flagsswap
/dev/sda6

I notice that I have a boot-repair-disk-64bit.iso
dated 2018-07-17 on my normal system.
¹ I do realise that it is time to upgrade to 15.2, but that is a separate issue! (I have already downloaded it.)
