I wanted to do a dual boot set up, so here's a little context. I initially had Windows 10 installed on a m.2 NVMe SSD drive and then installed Windows 11 on a SATA SSD. Ran into an issue with bitlocker so I had to reinstall them both but decided to get a newer NVMe drive for my main. While I was waiting for that to arrive, I installed Windows 11 on my SATA SSD. I installed Windows 10 on my new NVMe drive, and then I ran into some issues, tried re-installing it again and it kept giving me issues. Turned out I had to unplug all my other drives and it finally installed. However, now when I boot normally, I'm taken to a blue Windows OS selection screen. I see three options as you can see in the image attached. Windows 11 works, and Windows 10 On Volume 2. The Windows 10 option without the volume label does not work. I don't know how that appeared, and is there a way to get rid of it? The other question I got here, which I'm not sure if it's related or not is about the boot menu. Maybe my understanding of this is incorrect so I'd appreciate it if someone can explain it to me. It lists two devices, first one is where my windows 11 is installed and the 2nd one is my Linux install. If I select thr first one, that brings up the blue Windows OS choice selection screen. Why is that being shown for that specific ssd? Why is my windows 10 on the nvme not listed? I went into bios and I couldn't find anything that would let me pick my. Nvme as a boot device. I was under the assumption that it would list the drives and then I could pick which OS to boot based on the device selection above. Is the Windows boot manager on that Sata drive because I installed Windows 11 on it first instead of having my windows 10 installed on tue nvme first? Does it even matter or impact anything at this point? Because I can reinstall everything since I don't have much on there anyways if it means doing it the "correct way."

Hi there, I have been considering switching to dual booting Linux & Windows on my desktop. I was wondering if there is anything important I should know before going through with this. I plan on using full drives for each OS. Here is my planned setup: 2TB NVME SSD for windows (mostly because games take up so much space) 1TB SSD for Linux 2TB HDD That can be shared between the two. All of those drives above are connected via SATA with the NVME drive being the exception. My largest concern would be the shared HDD between the two. Will I still be able to access data on both operating systems without the need of reformatting? In addition, would I have to worry about windows screwing with my connected Linux SSD? To provide more context, I planned on using either Fedora or Ubuntu with either KDE or LXQT. I am not new to Linux because I use it all the time when working with my home server, however this will be my first time using it in a desktop context. If you have another suggested distro for this type of setup, please let me know. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I recently completed a build based on the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI and an 7970X Threadripper. I am an Electrical Engineering grad student researcher and the computer lives on campus. Typically, if I am not on campus, I VPN in using my school provided laptop and run my actual code on the workstation. All of my machine learning stuff has to be run in Linux, but there are a couple programs that I use that are only offered on Windows, and I don't game much anymore but when I do it's definitely on Windows. Therefore, I am running a dual-boot setup on the workstation. My issue is that if I am not on campus I cannot reboot the computer into whichever OS I want. I know that the people have built/used Raspberry PI based KVM's to be able to reboot/control their workstations remotely. But does the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI have some sort of similar functionality built in? I believe that ASUS offers an IPMI card that would allow this sort of functionality? If not, what are people doing in this scenario? Also before someone suggests it, I have tried WSL2 and the performance is not just quite there for training large ML models. I saw about a 20% performance hit and loading in the small sample data of my test program took about 50x as long.

Hi! Built a pc this summer which I am extremely pleased with, it works great and I've been having next to no issues at all. The only thing that bothers me is the constant dual boot and that it doesn't wake up from sleep mode. I have to manually hold the power button down and restart after it goes into sleep. Is there something in the BIOS that is causing this, or is the dual boot normal with my hardware? The pc works great when it's running, had no issues with it at all. Extremely thankful for any help with this! Radeon 7900XT 20GB AMD Ryzen 7 7700X DDR5 32GB 6000Mhz SN770 1TB M.2

I'm planning my next build and I'm ready to pull the trigger on Linux. I've used it on my laptop for a couple years and close to a decade at work. Occasionally Windows will still be required for anti-cheat games or sometimes just the latest AAA games. I'd like to solve that problem with a completely separate boot drive. I have tried dual booting Windows and Linux off the same drive many times and it always ends up being a huge pain. Windows just does not like to play second fiddle. It also doesn't do well with updates. So if I keep both installs on completely separate hard drives and handle switching between them with the motherboard's UEFI, I figure that should give me the greatest isolation possible with an acceptable level of inconvenience. The problem is that with the cheap motherboards I've worked with in the past, they don't support this. If two bootable drives are present, it only allows you to select one of them in the boot order settings. This may not be a problem on more premium boards, but I wouldn't know. I'd like both drives to be M.2 NVMe. Are there any AM4 ATX motherboards that would support what I'm looking for? I'm willing to spend up to around $200, but I could go higher if that is the only solution. For reference, I currently have the MSI B550-A PRO in my build plan. I'm not attached to it at all. Thank you!

So, I have an Asus Tuf (i7) with me and I tried dual booting ubuntu and windows with it but there were a few problems there always, like the cpu fan rpm not changing even when it was getting hot and the major issue was the bluetooth not working properly. To be more specific the bluetooth was working on one os either ubuntu or windows but not on both. I already did the key swapping thing which was the most common solution but still it was no good. I tried the same on both windows 11 and windows 10... but no good still. Now the thing is that I did all of this on one single ssd by partitioning it... But my laptop has one more slot. So, should I buy another ssd and go for separate os on both? Can someone say if it will work or not? And what will be the boot loader, in this case, grub or UEFI?

I have installed Win 11 on NVMe M.2 drive with a SSD attached to another port. It boots in Dual Boot mode, It wont boot without the SSD attached. I don't know how I have managed this, I just want to have the NVMe drive as main boot. I was also wondering does this effect performance of the drive?

Hi everyone, I have an idea for a build using an M1 Mac Studio with an EGPU. This build is because I work on Mac and don't want to keep switching computers to play games after work. So I'm deciding to keep it all in one build, have a small form factor, and change the OS when I want to play. I know this approach is expensive and easier to build a PC, but I don't want to have another entire computer to maintain. My question is would it work on the windows dual boot side? And would it increase performance enough to play high-end games Budget (including currency): 3K (3000 USD) Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Work, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, any high-end game that requires performance really I have an extensive steam library.

Lenovo Legion 5 pro laptop Dualbooting ubuntu and win 10 Yesterday evening i was using the laptop on win 10 as usual. The laptop worked with no problems. After that i pressed update&shutdown and went to sleep. Next morning: After turning it on it's completely silent (no fan speed) and has a black screen. It's unresponsive to keyboard shortcuts or getting into bios. Somehow i managed to get to grub once, so i know that the kb and display work. After selecting windows in grub it went back to a black screen. I can't manage to get back into grub to try to see if ubuntu works. Things I have tried: - turning off by holding the power button and then turning it on after some time - opening it, removing the battery, powercycling it, turning it back on - windows + ctrl + shift + b - spamming every key possible to get into bios Also noticed the day before the problem that the time and date in windows were off and had to fix them

I have a laptop which has dual boots into Ubuntu & Windows 10. I recently decided to just get rid of Ubuntu since having the GNU GRUB Bootloader was really annoying, so I followed this tutorial which sort of worked, but now I'm just stuck with an error whenever I reboot my laptop: I'm able to just type "EXIT" and it'll boot into Windows, but I just want GNU Grub to be gone, after following the tutorial linked above It appears Ubuntu just shouldn't exist, and yet somehow GNU Grub continues to exist. When I go into CMD prompt and try to find the Ubuntu/GRUB folder it's not there (as expected, I deleted it), but obviously it is. Does anyone know how I can just kill it? I do not want it anymore lol.

I am saving for Apple SoC / ARM and have eBayed all my computers (serious) I need to take this bunch of parts and make a Computer to operate Divinci and Final Cut so its got to be a MAC. I also want badly to play DCS world which requires 64 bit Windows and from what I understand, needs to NOT be Boot Camp. Fortunately the 2010 Mac has 6 SATA ports and a couple PCIe ports to add more storage. I have so many parts and enough to build 2 MAC PRO's. I have 4 2.5inch ssd's from 500 - 1TB and 4 HDD's totaling 10 TB. ASUS RX580 and a Vega RX580. 2 Towers and well Look. I just want to dual boot but have never built a PC or Mac Pro before. The Vega was in a Razor X eGPU and was recognized on both Windows and Mac.

Hi everyone, So I decided to install Linux Mint on a second HDD but it also appeared to install a grub dual-boot screen at startup. This ended up bothering me so I did some searching and found that deleting the ubuntu folder in the EFI partition of the windows drive would remove the screen. After removing the folder, the screen successfully disappeared from start up. I also used windows "diskpart" to clean the second drive of the Linux installation. However, my windows drive is now labelled as Ubuntu In bios. Any way to change it? Selecting the Ubuntu labelled boot option just hangs for a second and doesn't do anything. However using the windows boot loader work fine. My motherboard is an ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a Predator Triton PT315-51(2019) with i5-9300H, 16GB RAM, GTX 1650, 256GB Boot Drive. I have installed "manjaro-xfce-21.2.4-minimal-220301-linux515" on a separate SSD in dual mode. So I had to change SATA Controller from Optane with RAID to AHCI(and reinstall windows). After installation of Linux, everything seems to be working fine. I can use both Windows 10 and Manjaro. But when try to access BIOS by pressing F2, it just shows a black screen with a blinking underscore on top left corner of screen. So how should I fix this?

Hi, am having trouble setting up dual boot between Windows 10 and Pop OS. I installed Pop alongside my existing windows install. I can swap between each OS fine if i change the boot order in BIOS, so both OS's are installed fine, but when in the boot manager Pop OS is not listed. I have each OS installed on different drives (so not partitioned on a single drive). What i think i need from researching is to install GRUB as a boot manager as i think the windows boot manager only detects windows, is that right??? but honestly im not sure and cant seem to find a GRUB download or a clearer explanation of what exactly i need to do. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.

Ever since I installed a new M.2, my computer will only boot to the bios when I turn it on. From the bios, I can then go into either Windows 10 OSs normally but never immidiately when I turn on the computer. My setup is: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO Intel i7-6700k 2080 super I have 2 drives that have Windows 10 on them; an old 1T HDD, and a newer 1T SSD. I have 1 blank 300GB drive and the new M.2 with a few games on it. The problem didn't happen when it was just the original 3 drives but when I installed the M.2 I also installed Windows 10 on it. I had decided a little later to just use it for games instead of the boot drive so I reformatted it to remove Windows, but ever since I installed it, even if the M.2 is removed the computer still boots directly to the BIOS. Fast boot is not on.
