Windows 10: Have 4 different SSD drives with 4 different operating systems using UEFI DELL BIOS 2018

I Have 4 different SSD drives with 4 different operating systems, Win 7 - Win8.1 - Win 10 Pro - and lynx Ubunta, Using Dell UEFI on Windows 10 Pro 64bit Machine,


How to boot to each different drive when system is booting up



How to manage this drives UEFI is giving me a hard time ( Well I am not sure what is going on ) . One of the drives is mounted on the mother board ( M.2 SSD )



I have secure boot turned off


Format drives using MBR/GPT ?


Why hasn't engineering design a choice on boot for toggling between different drives ( I do not mean dual boot )


I Hope someone can explain I would be grateful because I am loosing my hair


Thank You

Difference between UEFI and BIOS

Strictly, UEFI is not part of BIOS.

The confusion arises because you have to go to a menu system which historically we called the BIOS when it is really the configuration menu for the BIOS, not the actual BIOS itself.

Hi

I've found that my Surface Pro 4 ( i7-16-512 ) has different SSD firmware number than all others

it starts BXV7... instead 5M0Q...

number BXV7... is firmware for Samsung PM951 512GB drives of Dell XPS 15

and OEM for Microsoft Surface sould have number 5M0Q...

Can someone tell me why?

Kind Regards

 

Install Windows 10 using UEFI bootable USB thumb drive

You need to go into you system bios and select allow uefi usb drive. Then add the UEFI usb drive to the boot menu

better way to partition aand create an bootable usb.

For the UEFI system, we can use these steps to create the bootable USB:

1.Locate a 4GB or larger USB flash drive

2.Open Diskpart and run the following command cmd admin type diskpart

• Type DiskPart in the command prompt.
• Type "List Disk” (make note of the disk number of the target USB drive).
• Type "Select Disk X”, where X is the target USB drive noted in step 4.
• Type "Clean”.
• Type "Create Partition Primary”.
• Type "format FS=fat32 quick”.
• Type "Active”.
• Type "Assign".
• Type "Exit".

Copy your ISO files to the drive and reboot

never use UEFI it better to repartition and remove UEFI go with legacy bois
