Dual boot Windows 10-Ubuntu - Grub, os-prober not detecting Windows 10 partition
Got my Dell XPS 9560 replaced by warranty after motherboard on previous one went bad. Took out the HDD on the new unit and swapped it out with SSD in previous unit. In the past when swapping out hard drives, if the computer didn't boot to grub, I'd just boot to Ubuntu Live USB and run boot-repair. It would detect all OSes and repair grub, etc. This time however it only detected the Ubuntu partition on the SSD, not the Windows partition. os-prober returns nothing. I can mount and read and write to Windows partition just fine from Ubuntu. Since I've simply used boot-repair in the past I'm pretty unfamiliar with EFI, grub, boot flags/required partitions, etc. Here is output from fdisk -l:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 34815 32768 16M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sdb2 34816 748181142 748146327 356.8G Microsoft basic data

Partition table entries are not in disk order.
