It's a *very* long time since I had a multiboot system (on a laptop
that came with Vista installed), so my recollection isn't precise.

It was *like* my example.  I can't remember if the Windows option was
straight Windows, it probably was.  It probably handed over to the
Windows boot system which would have had its own normal/rescue boot
options.

All of that was automatic, I'd never messed with grub2-mkconfig,
grubby, et al, to modify things before or after any updates.
