Grub2 has no windows 7 loader in 18.4
0
When I installed 18.4 beside of windows 7 and not functioning 16.4. Grub2 menu there was no Windows but two 16.4. Here are what I received from boot repair software: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6sJFxVTSDf/. Getting windows back is more important, but two 16.4s are not needed at all.

You have mixed BIOS/MBR and UEFI installs. UEFI & BIOS are not compatible and once you start booting in one mode, you cannot switch, or grub only boots other installs in same boot mode. You should be able to use Boot-Repair booted in BIOS/Legacy/CSM boot mode and reinstall grub-pc (BIOS version) to MBR. Normally UEFI boot uses gpt partitioned drives, but all your drives are MBR(msdos).

Try runningsudo update-grubwhen you boot 18.04, see if windows 7 boot option is added to the boot selection.

Unfortunately update-grub did not help. When 16.04 don't work in my computer the only way seems to be reinstall 18.04 on BIOS mode, if it is possible. Thanks for clearing the problem. mava
