Title:
  Am trying to install ubuntu bootloader to my windows 7 EFI partition
  and grub doesn't complete

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When I first ran the upgrade process I was able to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04, but there was no longer a boot for ubuntu. I have been working this upgrade for days on my main pc, 16 gigs RAM, 8 gig graphics, many hard drives, Windows bootloader on sda but the side by side boot for ubuntu won't work. I've had successful dual boot uefi windows 7 / ubuntu 14.04 then 16.04 was a little problematic. But now the ubuntu EFI is thrashed ... until now, I could still boot into windows 7. I used the MBR EFi scheme for the CD image for booting because no other method worked. Now I can only run from the ubuntu 20.04 thumb drive with Casper.
  Help!
