Initial setup working: Ubuntu and Windows

My laptop had two OS working:

  1. Ubuntu 14.04 and
  2. Windows 8.1

At boot it showed "GNU GRUB Version 2.02 by Ubuntu."

Current setup, not satisfying

I recently installed Linux mint 18.2 cinnamon on it. Now at boot it shows GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9+linuxmint1 and Linux Mint first:

Desired setup: Ubuntu first, Ubuntu GRUB style

I'd like Ubuntu 14.04 at the first position, Linuxmint, and Windows after that. Also, I'd like GRUB with the Ubuntu style with Magenta background color.

As said in comment, I've deleted Linux Mint and don't know how to get Ubuntu first in list.

If you haven't found an answer yet.

Looks like you only have 1 hard drive /dev/sda, right? If that is the case, boot to Ubuntu, from the terminal type in:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

That should override the GRUB that was installed by Mint. Then you will have to update the GRUB again:

sudo update-grub

Hope this helps!
