Windows 10: Native booting vhdx file not working

I've been trying to native boot Win10 on a vhdx virtual disk. I'm following this guide: You are being redirected....
Everything seems to work as it should. But when I reboot the system the following error is shown:



I'm testing this in a VMWare VM with UEFI boot and Secure Boot disabled. I think it has something to do with the bcdboot command but have no idea how to fix it. Has anyone done this successfully?

:)

 

Native booting vhdx file not working

Testing in a virtual machine will not work unless the vhdx has boot files.

All you need to do to native boot vhdx file is

1. Boot to Windows.

2. Attach vhdx file from disk management.

3. Note the drive letter of windows in attached vhd.

4. Type following

bcdboot #:\windows

where # is drive letter from step 3.

Done all that. The problem seems to be with the vhdx file being located on another drive. It works fine from the primary drive, which is no good for my strategy.

I found a post on another forum where it was suggested to use mount point GUID instead of drive letters in the bcdedit command as the drive letters of other disks may not be assigned at the time. If you can explain how to do that I'd be grateful.
