[SOLVED] Need help with setting dual boot on two SSD's using win10/win11

[CitizenSmith]

I have two ssd's one with win10 and the other win11 they boot on their own no problem.
I need to somehow merge the bcd's but even when both drives are connected it will only boot to win 10 no other option available and
the win11 boots fine on it' s own again can't see anything in that os either.
is there a way to add the other OS's boot info! to win10's. I have easyBCD but can't see a way to do it in there.
once easyBCD opened it only see's my current win10.
any help here would be appreciated.

Delete the bootloader partition on the Windows 11 SSD, boot into the Windows 10 SSD, then use bcdedit to add the Windows 11 path into to the Windows 10 SSD's bootloader.

For the love of FSM....WHY?

Whatever "Win 11" you just installed is NOT an actual release version, not even an official Preview.

that is assuming the win 10 installer knows what win 11 is.

Its more likely both use the win 10 loader, and its always fun getting win 10 to dual boot with itself.

The loader on the win 11 iso you have could be custom, not many people are running it on hardware they need and I haven't looked too hard into it to see if anyone tried dual boot.

Better off getting onto insiders and get win 11 that way.

Well, there's only one way to find out now isn't there? 😉

If people are going to want to be on the bleeding edge, I figure they should be willing to do things for science.

In easybcd go to add new entry
leave type at win 7/8/10
change drive to show the drive letter of the ssd

If the second ssd doesn't show up use windows disk management to add a drive letter to it.

Thank you very much
I have however just found a way using cmd and bcdboot command and it worked a treat
thanks again

because I'm a raving masochist lol
I love testing new crap and this didn't disappoint.
Win11 running well with no issues so far, tweaking the crap out of it so it works the way I want and not Bill's way hell even WPD works on it so most spyware disabled even got win 7 start menu back and transparent taskbar. all my apps work no issues with any of them using on local account.
