I recently install Linux Mint (KDE Plasma) on my SSD (30GB Partition) after that I install Windows 10 on remaining storage. But when I tried to boot in Linux Mint my Computer automatically boot Windows 10 without showing Boot options for selecting OS. Now, how to install GRUB on Master Boot Record (MBR) of my SSD to boot both OS.

First live boot to your Linux Mint system, using external Live CD/USB Drive, then follow these commands to re-install GRUB on MBR.

1. mount your Linux installed partition to some mount point. here XY is the number of your Linux distro partition.

2. Now bind some essential live root partition directories to mounted root partition at /mnt.

3. Now, change the root to newly mounted partition directory.

4. Now, install the GRUB using grub-install command at your HDD MBR.

5. Finally update the grub entries to show newly detected partition operating systems.

6. And at last unmount all the binded partition directories, and then reboot.

That's it, hope this will help!!

Windows will overwrite the boot sector whenever you install it. In general install windows first then linux. You can repair the grub by booting from a live disk of linux Mint and there should be an option to repair-boot, which will repair your grub. Restart it and now you should be able to see both the OS.

Or you can boot from a live cd and perform the following steps:

• Boot from a live CD (CD/DVD or flash drive).
• Become root or use sudo with commands below.
• List the available partitions if needed: fdisk -l
• Windows will almost certainly exist on /dev/sda1: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
• Reinstall GRUB in the MBR: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
• Reboot: shutdown -r now
• Restore the GRUB menu: update-grub

^{You can boot the GRUB4DOS boot-loader/boot-manager in different manners:}

^{(1) Run GRUB.EXE at the DOS prompt or in AUTOEXEC.BAT
(2) In CONFIG.SYS of DOS/Windows9x, use DEVICE=GRUB.EXE or INSTALL=GRUB.EXE or SHELL=GRUB.EXE
(3) In BOOT.INI of Windows NT/2K/XP, use C:GRLDR='GRUB' (there should be a backslash between C: and GRLDR)
(4) Under Linux, use 'kexec -l grub.exe' and then 'kexec -e'
(5) In syslinux.cfg, use 'kernel grub.exe'
(6) Under GNU GRUB, use 'kernel (DEVICE)/PATH/grub.exe'
(7) In lilo.conf, use 'image=/boot/grub.exe'
All above methods won't touch the MBR nor the boot area of any partition.
(8) Boot from MBR(or floppy) by installing boot sectors onto it with the DOS/LINUX utility bootlace.com.}

^{When GRUB4DOS gets running, you can boot other OSes:}

^{(1) Boot Linux kernel with 'kernel (DEVICE)/PATH/vmlinuz'
(2) Boot MS-DOS7+ kernel with 'chainloader (DEVICE)/io.sys'
(3) Boot FreeDOS kernel with 'chainloader (DEVICE)/kernel.sys'
(4) Boot NTLDR of Windows NT/2K/XP with 'chainloader (DEVICE)/ntldr'
(5) Boot CMLDR of Windows NT/2K/XP with 'chainloader (DEVICE)/cmldr'
(6) Boot other OSes with 'chainloader (DEVICE)+1'
(7) Boot DOS/Windows9x disk image files with the memdrive feature.
(8) Boot Smart Boot Manager with the memdrive feature(SBM can boot CD-ROMs).}
