why do this whats wrong with grub?
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
The linked article uses the Windows bootloader to chainload a copy of GRUB stored on your Windows partition, rather than in the MBR. If you're trying to get something with a locked down bootloader to load Linux, then you may well find you're restricted from editing the BCD store too.
If GRUB is broken on your system, this won't help.
More detail on what you're trying to do and we can advise
