Follow the below instructions to add " Windows 10 " in the boot menu

1. Login into the Ubuntu
2. cd /etc/grub.d/
3. sudo gedit 40_custom
4. # add following lines in 40_custom file: menuentry "Windows 7" { set root='(hd0,1)' chainloader +1 }

5. # after edit save file and run following command : grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
