Can you see the windows partition on the drive in the disk utility?

Have you tried booting into the BIOS and seeing if windows is one of the boot options?

So honestly, I tried this the first time I was getting into Linux and had a dual boot drive.

I quickly learned that if you want this to work well, you need to put each OS on their own drive.  You can run 2 different OS on the same hardware, except for the drive.  I would give them each their own.

 

Whenever I got stuck and couldn't get back into GRUB to pick which OS I boot into, I had luck booting from BIOS.  Have you tried that?
