  1. Where is this Operating system located?


    I have 2 operating systems they say Windows 10 and Windows 11. But the Windows 11 one does not have a path to where exactly it is located. As you see in the below picture, Windows 10 has the C:\ path, but which path does the Windows 11 one have? Windows 11 does not have any drive letter that goes with it. I have a vhdx file with Windows 11, but I never added it to the boot menu, and it is not mounted yet. So why is it this, and what will happen if I boot from it?

    :)

      Command Prompt (Admin).

      Enter.
