    I install linux but it wont boot . The system directly boots to windows. Grub wont show up.

    Reinstalling Windows won't change anything.

    Delete all OS partitions before reinstalling Windows. Then install Linux.
    I did that before, and I could boot into both Windows 10 and Linux Mint.

    It is ALWAYS advisable when performing a Clean Install to Delete ALL Partitions FIRST. This will leave a Single Unallocated Partition. This will then hopefully bypass ANY potential problems during and after installation.

    I hope this helps.

    A single unallocated space with one (or more) data partition will cause no problems either.
    The installation is clean and free from (potential) problems.

    Very true. I should have put that I was referring to any OS created Partitions. Although backing up ANY Data Partitions FIRST is strongly recommended. It is better to be safe than sorry!

    I reinstalled windows 10. The partition required for proper linux installation has been restored. I'll try a linux distro later.
