Hi, Mike,

If GRUB allows you to boot into Debian, run "update-grub" as a sudo command
or as root.

The resulting report should show that GRUB has found both OS on your
system. Mine shows, for example:

Generating grub configuration file ...
Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.3.0-1-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.3.0-1-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-1-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-1-amd64
Found Debian GNU/Linux (stretch/sid) on /dev/sdb1
Found Debian GNU/Linux (stretch/sid) on /dev/sdc1
Found Windows 10 (loader) on /dev/sdd1
done

HTH
