How to Dual Boot Windows and Ubuntu with Windows Boot Loader on Uefi?

I have 2 hard drives. One is SSD and another is HDD. My windows 10 os is installed on the SSD. I created a bootable USB installer for ubuntu and installed using the alongside option. Now when I try to use easybcd to make Windows bootloader as default, it doesn't give me option to add an entry for ubuntu. It shows as disabled. Also, It warns me about my interface being UEFI.

What should I do? Please help.

Boot into windows and hold the Shift key and click restart. Then choose Troubleshoot > Advance Option > Command Prompt , Then type following commands

 bootrec.exe /fixboot
 bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Then close cmd and restart pc. Then Windows will become your default bootloader with Ubuntu Entry.
