after the installation was finished, I selected restart as prompted (mistake?) and the LL loading screen came up and took an unusually long time. I think at this point in time I did a manual reboot and learned my windows bootloader would not work and was giving an error for a neogrub0 mbr file or something similar. "status: 0xc000000f"
I didn't look at the video, but basics if using EasyBCD from Windows would be:
* Install LL and point grub boot loader install to the linux root partition instead of MBR.
* Reboot computer -- it should boot directly to Windows without any Linux choice.
* Install EasyBCD to Windows (can be done before installing LL if you want); then follow its directions to add the LL install to boot loader.

Not sure if it's before or after this current install, either way it was ineffective in allowing me to boot into windows. Even went as far as to /FixMbr + /FixBoot in command prompt.
All that did was rid me of the neogrub0 error.
If computer still boots into LL, open a terminal and run this command to update grub and (hopefully) add Windows to the grub menu:
Code:
sudo update-grub
Reboot to see if it worked.
