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.
