So I've been having fun so far with my new linux installation.

For some programs I need to run for school I need to install a dualboot for windows, but I don't like the grub loader where you need to choose which installation to run.

I just want it to start my linux installation and if I want to go to windows I want to use a terminal command or something from within the linux installation to go to the windows installation.

so is this possible? and if so how?

Yes and no.

You cannot generally switch from one running operating system to another. You would always need to reboot to do that.

Alternatively you can install a new instance of Windows inside a virtual machine that runs from inside of Linux. You would then be able to resume and suspend that virtual machine without rebooting to use alongside Linux.
