Hi, im a windows 10 user, but before i tryed to install a linux mint version, several times, unsuccessefully.

 

Now when i boot my PC up, it opens a boot loader, to choose what OS i want to boot!

 

I got like 12 or 13 Linux mint failed installs, and 1 windows 10(The only 1 i can use). If i choose Mint, it gives me a blue screen, because the OS is not installed, but the Boot is there.

 

Please help me, and tell me what should i do to remove that from my boot loader!

Which OS did you install first? I believe if you install Linux after you installed windows, the Linux bootloader (grub) overwrites the windows bootloader. While this can be fixed, I believe it is much easier to install windows after you install linux. The windows bootloader should work out of the box with linux.

Just edit the boot file.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

I agree.  Although I understand the situation and this cant happen backwards.

This is all i got:

 

(Because i used a boot app to insert linux on the boot! because i had some issues installing it, because of the UEFI something config- so, i could not install it! only if i replace windows, and i didnt want to do that, because it is original, so i just canceled it!)

 

I there were no problems, but.... wrong!! 12 Mint boots and 1 win10...
