Win10 not booting after Linux installation - UEFI/BIOS conflict?
I have tried to install Linux Mint, and was warned about installing due to an UEFI conflict. I ignored this warning(!).
After that I have been unable to boot from the harddisk - no Win10 boot no Linux boot.
I have Linux on a stick and have been able to boot that, and verify that the Win10 partitions appear fully intact (for all simple purposes at least).
I have tried reinstalling Linux in other modes but without luck.

I have made a Win10 recovery USB stick and tried using that to re-establish Win10 booting, but without luck:
Sequence of bootrec commands, in accordance with this thread:
bootmgr not found. bootrec /rebuildbcd and /fixboot give error
C:\>bootrec /fixmbr
The operation completed successfully.
C:\>bootrec /fixboot
Element not found.
C:\>bootrec /rebuildbcd

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Next step was trying diskpart in accordance with the same thread:C:\>diskpartI have also attempted installing windows on the Linux HD partition from the recovery USB, but was told that I must boot Windows to accomplish this - which I can't.

From Linux I have run boot-repair, and this is the report:
Ubuntu Pastebin
Can somebody come up with proposals for next steps - I would really like to avoid wiping my Windows 10; all data is backed up, but SW installs would be a pain to redo.
Thanks in advance!
