Can you set up Multi-boot after installing Zorin OS

I already had Windows 10 on my laptop.
I wanted to learn Linux, so I decided to install Zorin OS 9 (Educational, 64-bit)
Installed it in a different partition along with swap space ~4GB (read online)
What I didn't read in detail was, how to install dual-boot.
Now to use windows, I have to run it from Windows Recovery Environment.
(that's what you get for being an overconfident noob)
Can dual-boot still be installed?
Is there ay other way?

It depends where you put the bootloader of Zorin. Bearing in mind that you need to have legacy mode enabled if wanting to boot into Zorin, try Easy BCD but download it from Softpedia. Install Easy BCD on your Windows partition then create a new bootloader so that apart from Windows (which you can make default) you can add the partition for GNU/Linux. That said I have no experience of your scenario so do AT YOUR OWN RISK!
