windows option missing after installing ubuntu

Question

I am completely new to Linux and Ubuntu. I have a HP Envy laptop with pre-installed windows 8.1 I have created a Ubuntu bootable usb drive and installed Ubuntu successfully. After installation, I am not able to load windows, everytime system is directly loading Ubuntu.

More information: Windows OS is available on C: driver, D: drive is having recovery provided by HP. I created a new drive E: by shrinking C: drive and installed ubuntu on E: drive.

I have gone through existing threads around this issue in Ubuntu community but could not find anything helpful. I have installed boot-repair software and captured my boot information here

Any help/information/education would be much appreciated!

Please suggest if any further information is required to better illustrate this issue.

Thank You!

<<Here is my complete comment>> Install success. But I dont see 'windows' option in list configuration tab of grub-customizer. I see below options (1)Ubuntu (2)EFI/refind/MokManager.efit (3)EFI/ubuntu/MokManager.efi (4)EFI/refind/drivers_x64/ext4_x64.efi(5)System setup. Does it mean I completely erased windows? Is there a way to know if windows is existing on hard drive?
