Windows 10 Boot manager removal for dual OS on SSD and HDD


Shrink the OS on the HDD by about 150MB. MiniTool Partition Wizard Free is very good for that. Then open a Command Prompt or PowerShell and run diskpart.

Once in diskpart the commands are:
list disk
select disk # <-replace # with the actual number for the HDD
create part efi
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter=t
exit

Then in a command prompt (admin) or "run as administrator" command prompt run:

bcdboot C:\Windows /s T: /f all

Note - the drive letter in red needs to be the Windows installation on the HDD. If you are booted into the OS on the HDD, it should be C:. It might be E: or F: or something else if you are booted into the OS on the SSD. Just make sure you do the above commands all from the same OS.

That should make the HDD bootable by itself. When you are done, and it is booting from F12, you can remove the drive letter T: from the EFI partition, and remove the dual boot menu from the SSD by using the msconfig command.

 

Upgrading OS to an SSD

Thanks, I will look into the Samsung SSD instead and set it up as you suggested, that's exactly what I needed.

 

64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.
