Does your laptop give you a boot menu when you press some key at startup
time? Candidates are ESC, F2, Delete, F11 and probably more.

You could also look in the BIOS, if there can be configured a boot menu.

And, AFAIK, Grub shows up when you press ESC at startup time, in case it is
still installed.
