Previous situation was a working dual boot Ubuntu/Windows 10.
I decided to install Kali Linux instead of Ubuntu, so during the installation process, I removed and overwrote both ext4 partitions that contained Ubuntu.
During the installation, Kali told me it was unable to install grub.
Rebooting results in a grub prompt. I am only able to get into Windows by pressing F12 when the Dell logo is visible on screen.
I've tried to fix it by running the boot-repair-disk from here. This doesn't work, but provides a boot info summary, which can be found here.
Does anyone know how to fix grubso that I can boot into Windows and Kali?
Update
I'm currently booted into Kali by using SuperGRUB2 Disk.
When I tried to run grub-install, I got bash: grub-install: command not found.
I fixed that by removing and reinstalling grub. After that:
#sudo fdisk -lu

From your terminal, run the following commands:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install boot-repair
$ boot-repairI hope this help fix your GRUB issue
The problem was that I had not installed Kali as EFI. After I recreated the USB drive (using Rufus), the reinstall went smoothly.
