I installed Ubuntu with my UEFI installation of Windows 8 (with windows 7 boot-loader because I don't know how to recover it), and after grub installed, I was no longer able to boot Windows 8. I tried with several different tutorials, which resulted in the two menu entries called 'Windows 7' that you'll see in the pastebin output.

I also disabled fastBoot. It's my first time with Linux so this is a bit difficult for me to solve, and the existing answers seem incomplete.

Output from boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5656809/

I was able to restore Windows 8.1.1 to the boot menu after restoring the MBR. I booted from a live USB with Boot-Repair-Disk on it, used Gparted to check the disks, then somehow found a way (I don't remember the actions, for which I apologize) to boot into Windows. I then used EasyBCD to make Windows the default option and rebooted, which restored the MBR boot menu with Windows at the default option and Ubuntu listed as the second option.

I think the app that actually helped me RESTORE THE MBR was Grub Customizer.
