Sorry dear! I tried with all genuine methods and installed debian 8.1. But whoa! I lost my activated version of Windows 10. I WAS able to access all my hard drives as I did a proper shutdown but the grub os list showed no link to windows. I reinstalled windows 10 and still am eager to run linux flawlessly. Please guide me.
