No need to guess:
grub references disks numbering from 0
grub references partitions numbering from 1

So the first partition on the first disk would be hd0,msdos1. (also
hd0,1 - doesn't matter)
The third partition on a second disk would be hd1,msdos3

So now you can create two menu entries, one for each partition: Give them
different names - like this -  menuentry "Windows msdos1"

When you start the machine you will see the grub menu - It should
contain a menu (obviously) with entries for Qubes, and the two entries
you have just created.
You can press up and down keys to move up and down the entries -
Pressing enter will try to boot with the highlighted entry.
(There are instructions under the menu)

Actually, normal, non sysadmin people CAN use the OS for the  most part
- the installation process can be problematic and even seasoned users can
find multiboot setups difficult. I would never recommend that - perhaps
the "multiboot" page should carry that warning.

again fwiw this is what the
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multiboot/
says:

In blkid output, the system partition is the one with LABEL=’SYSTEM

Add this stanza to /etc/grub.d/40_custom,

menuentry "Windows" {
 insmod part_msdos
 insmod ntldr
 insmod ntfs
 ntldr (hd1,X)/bootmgr
}

(Change X to reflect the relevant system partition.)

Then update the grub config:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

There is no need to reinstall grub itself.

If the above stanza does not work, you may try this one (at your own 
risk!) instead:


menuentry "Windows" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdosX)'
chainloader +1
}

(Change X to reflect the relevant system partition.)

see the part  "at your own risk!" ..hence, I'm cautious

as for "making two entries"

frankly, I am not even sure what behaviour to expect,  if I did get

Would I see something when I boot in Grub  that gives me a choice to

As far as I can see a number of people have tried to help you here
You should read the guidelines at www.qubes-os.org/mailing-lists and
be patient.
Also, a two minute search on the net would bring you to guides that
would enable you to learn something about grub and maybe solve the problem for
yourself.

On the specific points:
I doubt that your Win10 boot partition got overwritten , unless you
asked the installer to do so.
It is possible to run Windows without a SYSTEM partition, particularly if
installed in BIOS mode - it is, however, not standard.
fdisk -l shows you which partition has been marked as bootable - this
need not be the partition you want. It need not be the first partition.
Nothing will go wrong if you get the partition specification wrong -
Windows wont boot and you will see an error message.
From what you have said you have two options: msdos1 and msdos2.
In grub partitions are numbered starting from 1, so these can be
referenced as hd0,msdos1 and hd0,msdos2.
Just create two entries, one for each partition, and try to boot: if
the first fails, reboot and choose the second.

Incidentally, its relatively simple to enable legacy boot on InsydeH20 -
again, a simple search would show you how.
Unless someone did this for you it's most likely that you are in UEFI
mode. You can check this in Linux by looking at the output from dmesg,
and looking for "efi" entries - 'dmesg|grep efi'
Also,look in /sys/firmware for efi directory. If it's there then you
booted UEFI.
The partition layout you have described doesn't seem to be standard for
Windows under UEFI.

It isn't clear if you read the documentation before installing Qubes, or
if you have a back up or cloned disk. If you didn't I would do it now
before trying anything else. You can attach the NTFS partitions to a qube
and copy the data off, or clone the whole partition.

Good luck.

I appreciate your  replies,  I'm not a sysadmin,  enabled  legacy boot , 
i only vaguely understand  that that is requird for Qubes, anyway, i've 
got qubes installed,  it's just acting  different  than on my desktop 
version is,


I don't expect any replies, just hoping for more than 1 or 2  , hence I 
asked about the IRC,  but I'm guessing that isn't well attended  also


forgive me , for asking , it really isn't "a two minute" search it is 
that Grub and such are complicated for  non sysadmin  people



just for the record, I would think Qubes might like to have  normal non 
sysadmin  people  able to use the OS,  so my questions to the list, my 
serve those people,


The format of post and wait days or never for a reply  may  not be ideal 
 for anything  complicated  IMHO


anyway, thanks for listening

As far as I can see a number of people have tried to help you here
You should read the guidelines at www.qubes-os.org/mailing-lists and
be patient.
Also, a two minute search on the net would bring you to guides that
would enable you to learn something about grub and maybe solve the problem for
yourself.

On the specific points:
I doubt that your Win10 boot partition got overwritten , unless you
asked the installer to do so.
It is possible to run Windows without a SYSTEM partition, particularly if
installed in BIOS mode - it is, however, not standard.
fdisk -l shows you which partition has been marked as bootable - this
need not be the partition you want. It need not be the first partition.
Nothing will go wrong if you get the partition specification wrong -
Windows wont boot and you will see an error message.
>From what you have said you have two options: msdos1 and msdos2.
In grub partitions are numbered starting from 1, so these can be
referenced as hd0,msdos1 and hd0,msdos2.
Just create two entries, one for each partition, and try to boot: if
the first fails, reboot and choose the second.

Incidentally, its relatively simple to enable legacy boot on InsydeH20 -
again, a simple search would show you how.
Unless someone did this for you it's most likely that you are in UEFI
mode. You can check this in Linux by looking at the output from dmesg,
and looking for "efi" entries - 'dmesg|grep efi'
Also,look in /sys/firmware for efi directory. If it's there then you
booted UEFI.
The partition layout you have described doesn't seem to be standard for

well since I haven't a clue which one it may be, I suspect I will ruin
both systems  qubes and win10

msdos3 seems to be the smallest, would the boot partition be on msdos3 ?
doesn't seem right, I thought boot partitions were usually the 1st
partition,  it also says it is NOT NTFS  it is ext3

should fdisk not work  at the  grub>  prompt ?



Whoops I forgot to "cc the list"  in the off chance, I could get some 
more support.



Is there any other place for support  maybe on one of the IRC channels, 
do folks really  ask and answer timely questions there ?

look for the one is the size of that windows boot partition you mentioned 
earlier.  Then when you make the 40_custom file in grub.d directory like was 
mentioned earlier.   For whatever msdos1 msdos2 is when you list them. you put 
in 1 2 or 3 etc... as explained earlier.

What you want to do is install Windows first and then install Qubes,
you want to edit GRUB so you can boot Windows from GRUB.

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multiboot/



thanks, so if I got Qubes installed and up and running, does this mean
my Bios is in "legacy mode" already? As I don't really see an option in
the INSYDEH20   Bios  to  enable  Legacy mode.
