    I'm running Windows 10, build 2004 currently.

    I am trying to clean up after a dual-boot of Linux mint. I want to repair the boot loader. In the past, I've had success with bootrec.exe /fixmbr. But, I have tried several Win 10 boot discs to boot to a command prompt from, and they all say the file isn't found. When I'm in Windows, I search for bootrec.exe, and it isn't anywhere on my computer.

    I try googling to get an answer, but everything I run in to tells me to use the bootrec command. Well, I'd love to, but...

    Anyone know what may be going on here?
