Back in the days I installed both Ubuntu & Windows on two separate partitions of my SSD. Then I stopped using computers for a few years. I forgot a lot. After I pulled my PC back out of storage I turned it on and my Ubuntu 16.04 started. I didn't get an option of choosing OS while booting. I didn't even remember there is Windows installed alongside Ubuntu. I updated Ubuntu to 20.04 and then I found there is still a partition on my SSD containing Windows. Can I still possibly boot up into this Windows anyhow?

To check windows is still there and boot from it go to Boot-options by pressing Esc or any other key when your power on your laptop
If windows is working then fix your boot by boot-repair

Thank you!
BIOS is useless when both OSes are on the same disk.
boot-repair helped. It restored GRUB menu which allowed me to try to boot into the Windows.
(Windows don't work anymore due to inaccessible_boot_device error.)
