  1. Windows 10 dual boot


    I have Windows 10 dual boot on my Acer Nitro 5 PC. 1st SSD has as OS Windows 10; 2nd SSD has as OS Windows 10 optimized for audio recording. When I shut down the PC and reboot later, the first boot bypasses the GRUB and boots straight to the last OS used. I then restart, the GRUB appears and I can choose which OS to boot to. Very annoying! Any ideas how to fix this?

    :)

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
