I have two hard drives in a single desktop. Both have windows 10 installed. One was on a laptop before. If I want to choose which one Windows 10 boots from how do I go about this.

You would go into your BIOS and change the primary boot device. Consult your BIOS manual if you're unsure of how to do this - manual is available on your motherboard manufacturer's website. Also note that moving Windows installations between systems does not always work, so if that laptop drive had Windows on it from when it was in the laptop, it may fail to boot, or it may boot but Blue Screen at random due to drivers from the laptop.

Desktop: KiRaShi-Intel-2022 (i5-12600K, 5060 Ti) Mobile: Moto Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ 2024) | 30GB CAN+US+MEX $30/month
Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 7i (16") 82UF0015US (i7-12700H, 16GB/2TB RAM/SSD, A370M GPU) Tablet: Lenovo Tab Plus (256GB)
Camera: Canon M6 Mark II | Canon Rebel T1i (500D) | Canon SX280 Music: Spotify Premium (CIRCA '08)
