From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Always install Windows first. Mint should be able to find your Windows install and have it as a bootable selection.
A quick fix you could try is to boot into Mint and reinstall the kernel. Itll run through the mkinitcpio and os-prober process and potentially add your Windows disk to the boot selection.
