Grub rescue error?

[Irodo_BSMD]

Over the past 3 days I've been through ups and downs of getting my computer to work.

Sunday = restarted computer and none of my periphs were working (win10)

Yesterday = I installed windows 7 then same issue happened, narrowed it down to an Intel usb driver disabling my USBS

Today = dual booted Linux mint. Feel like I needed a change since the driver issue. All went well until the same issue happened with Linux! I gave up with that (haven't touched/deleted Linux since). I started upgrading to Windows 10 and at the usual restart it said:

Error: no such partition

entering rescue mode...

Grub rescue>

I cannot boot into Windows or anything. Console gaming is looking really appealing right now

Also, my motherboard is showing code 91 which means "issue event to connect drivers"

I understand that the grub rescue error is a Linux issue. Anybody know of any commands to fix it? I appreciate any help and suggestions.

Upgrading 10 with a dual boot system can be a pain like that.  We had a machine that we just gave up having Linux installed on and now just boot a live USB with persistence when necessary

Essentially the above.

The reason that happens is because there's a Windows update for Windows 10 that creates a new partition for Windows. This throws off GRUB's configuration and you have to manually fix it.  This has happened before with Windows 7 & 8.1. You should always fully update Windows before attempting to install Linux imo.

If you fully update Windows 10, then reinstall Linux Mint, it should fix it. But either you fix it now via Grub Rescue, or you wipe the drive and install Windows 10 directly over it. 

If you log into Windows 10 with your Microsoft account, it auto-activates with whatever key you used before as it's tied to the account.

If you don't use your Microsoft account, I hope you have a copy of your Product Key (after going to Windows 10 if you upgraded).

Or just run Windows 10 unactivated. It doesn't care and the only negative that I've seen is the Activate Windows watermark. 

Download this Media Creation tool to create an ISO for USB or DVD to install Windows 10.

2 days later: reinstalled windows twice since. Blue screened several times due to geforce experience being a bitch. I'm finally stable on 7 and i'm moving to 10 tomorrow. Wish me luck, lol.
