Warning duly noted; most of this mail is snipped so we can concentrate
on the technical aspects of your issue.

You were asked for some information. You declined to provide it. As a
route to solving a technical problem your response leaves a lot to be
desired.
The output of interest is from os-prober. You know what it, unless you
are so uninterested in seeking a solution you haven't even run it or are
keeping what it says to yourself.
If you had clue and had provided a decent, useful response you would
then have been directed to read /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft.
The light would then have dawned (perhaps). All the time you would be
learning and helping yourself. But no - whinging wins out. Far easier
for you to that than think for yourself.
You may be interested to know that the Debian Fairy has waved her magic
wand and made your machine dual bootable. From os-prober's changelog on
unstable:
* Add support for Windows 10 (otherwise reported as Windows Recovery
Environment). Thanks, Philipp Wolfer! (Closes: #801278).

With this information your every desire can be realised. Your problem
now has a proper solution. Surely what you can do to have a dual boot
doesn't need spelling out?

I don't do smarm. If you perceived what I wrote to be that, it reveals a
weakness in my irony, sarcasm and mild insults modules.
