The latest official version of Syslinux can be downloaded in.tar.gz,.tar.bz2,.tar.xz, and.zip formats from kernel.org.This download includes both the source and official pre-compiled binaries that should work for most users (See also Official Binaries). BOOTICE supports boot records from Grub4Dos, SysLinux, Plop, Windows NT5/6 and others.Other features include support for disk. Syslinux is an open source project that provides users with a simple and easy to configure bootloader that allows users to boot various operating systems from local disk drives, CDs, and PXE (Preboot Execution Environment).

Recently, I installed Windows 10 on my main machine - later discovered it demolished my whole Linux boot partition:
I got Syslinux and my Arch working, but now I can't find a way to succesfully make a Syslinux entry to boot into the Windows. Though, If I choose 'Windows Boot Manager' from the MB boot menu, it boots just fine.
My current syslinux.cfg: (well, part of it)

Syslinux For Windows Download
Edit 1#:
I forgot to mention, I also installed a UEFI syslinux in the /EFI/ folder, alongside windows' Microsoft and Boot folders, which, again, works for Linux, but not for Windows - no matter if I use UUID, Label, disk and partition number...

After some more digging, I found a small paragraph on the ArchLinux Wiki stating:
UEFI Syslinux does not support chainloading other EFI applications like UEFI Shell or Windows Boot Manager
And indeed, even after a feature request in 2013, they still haven't implemented this very important feature.
Solution was to install a different EFI-chainload-capable bootloader, such as GRUB. Installation guide for Arch here.
