I've installed Linux Mint alongside Windows 10, and when I boot up, GRUB shows Linux Mint first, followed by Windows 10. Since multiple people at home primarily use Windows 10, I want to make it so that when they press Enter, it automatically boots into Windows without any extra complications. How can I achieve this?

You should check the `GRUB_DEFAULT` setting in the `/etc/default/grub` file. If it's currently set to `GRUB_DEFAULT=0`, try changing it to `GRUB_DEFAULT=1`. Here's what to do:
1. Open a terminal and type `sudo nano /etc/default/grub`.
2. Change `GRUB_DEFAULT` to `GRUB_DEFAULT=1`.
3. After that, run `sudo update-grub`.
This should make the Windows Boot Manager the default selection when booting, allowing your family to just hit Enter to start Windows.
You could also use a tool called Grub Customizer to make this process a little easier. If you're using a Debian-based system, here’s how you can install it:
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
apt update
sudo apt install grub-customizer
```
This might give you a more user-friendly interface to adjust boot options.
Depending on your laptop or CPU, you could look into your BIOS settings. There you might be able to change the boot order, putting Windows at the top. Just keep in mind, if you do this, it may require you to select Linux from a boot menu each time you start your computer.
