Dual Boot

I guess I did some incorrect decisions during Arch Linux installation which leads to situation that I can`t boot Windows.
So before installation I had dual-boot with windows(sda1,sda2) and ubuntu(sda3, sda5). In Arch Linux manuals that I found, EFI was already created, from the beginning. But in mine case I had none EFI so I created new one. Could it be the cause why os-prober can`t find windows? What should do in order to be able to boot to windows?
Device          Start        End    Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1        2048    1026047    1024000   500M Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda2     1026048 1106952191 1105926144 527.4G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda3  1106952192 1110857727    3905536   1.9G Linux swap
/dev/sda4  1110857728 1325701119  214843392 102.5G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda5  1339123712 1936928767  597805056 285.1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda6  1936930816 1953523711   16592896   7.9G Linux swap
/dev/sda7  1325701120 1329606655    3905536   1.9G EFI System
p.s I could successfully boot to ubuntu

Re: Dual Boot

If there was no EFI partition then the computer wasn't using UEFI, you needed to follow the BIOS installation instructions instead of the UEFI instructions.
