Hold Shift during boot to bring up the GRUB menu, press E to edit, remove
the splash and quiet options and press Ctrl-X to boot. It's almost the
same as legacy GRUB, with just enough changes to confuse people :(

Tp make it permanent, edit /etc/default/grub, remove the splash and quiet
options, save the file and run grub2-mkconfig (or the wrapper script that
Ubuntu provide, update-grub?).

Plug the drive back in and run grub2-mkconfig. It will generate a new
menu with a Windows option. No manual editing needed.
