Thoughts?
On Centos 7, the NTFS filesystem is not installed by default. Make sure you have ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs both installed. You'll need to configure the epel repo before you can install them.

You need at least ntfs-3g to mount a ntfs partition from the linux side, but not for the booting on a dual-boot.
On my c7/window7 machine, the windows boot partition that I have in the grub line is labeled type "boot" (filesystem ntfs) in the output from "parted /dev/sda print". Based on that my bet is that it's your partition 5 that you need to put there, but you may need to do some more probing to confirm that.
As I'm avoiding windows10, I don't know that they are still using ntfs.
