So I was using windows 8.1 and I decided to install Fedora 22. I was careful while selecting the partition and now Fedora is installed, I can see my windows old files in the file explorer which means Windows is here. Now whenever I boot my system the Grub screen appears but there is no windows 8.1. I don't know what to do to have acess to windows again.
Take a look to sudo os-prober which updates the grub2 menu.
Then sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to update the grub2 configuration.
OS Prober should have detected Windows while installing; I don't think that's the issue, but you can still try it. :D
Try to deactivate 'grub' and load Windows, check if files to star windows still there. Prepare another divice, like cd-rom, usb stick, others.. 'dd of=/dev/sda? if=/def/sdWindowsStick'. Reinstall grub 'grub2-install -options'. Another method if had UUIDs, locate id-s and check over '/etc/fstab'.

Looks like a few people already had this issue and it has been resolved.
Start reading this one here, and also post the output of
fdisk -l.This one can also be quite helpful.
Go to Linux and post output of
fdisk -l. Thanks. Check for an 'EFI system':Please also post your grub.cfg (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg).
