  1. Windows dual-boot issue


    I have an Acer Nitro 5 notebook with two SSDs. I have dual boot configured to either boot to My Windows 10 Pro drive, or my Studio drive, which is also Windows 10. On first boot, when I start up the notebook after it has been off for a while, it bypasses the dual boot and boots straight to the Windows 10 pro drive. I have to restart for it to take me to dual boot. Any ideas on why it is doing 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.
