Hello,
I had a dual boot on my machine: Windows 10 Pro, Ubuntu. The dual boot was functioning via GNU/Grub.
Since I was using Ubuntu more, I wanted to remove the dual boot. I don't know what I did, but it's not working properly anymore, and it's outside my area of expertise. The tutorials I find are meant to "rebuild" the dual boot. However, what I'm interested in is getting my system to boot directly into Windows.
I have a command prompt that says: "grub rescue no such partition"
with a "grub rescue" command prompt, I did ls, I have several things, then when doing an ls of each element, I always get "filesystem is unknown"...
I have a bootable Windows 10 USB drive, where, when I launch the Windows command prompt and access Diskpart, and I run "list volume", the drive letters of my disks are wrong. I have a data hard drive (which normally gets the letter D:), now showing as drive C:, and my drive that normally has the letter C, is now F.
Could you help me fix my system? Reinstalling Windows 10 doesn't really appeal to me, as I have license keys with programs, and I'm not very motivated to pay for everything again...
Thank you in advance for your help =)

Hello,
If you are in UEFI, you just need to boot from Windows Boot Manager.
You can set it as the first in the boot order.
This might allow you to access Windows 10.
From there, you can use a utility to remove the Linux entry.
See: Remove dual-boot and grub to restore Windows.
If nothing works:
From a working computer: Use Media Creation on a valid computer to create a USB installation drive: https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10
Give the results of the following commands:
