Switching between Windows 10 and Lakka

[ThunderColt]

Howdy all! I have a quick question if you don't mind.

I am reconfiguring my old PC to be a retro gaming system, but I'm having one little setback. I'm going to be using Lakka to do the majority of the systems I want to play, but I also want to emulate PS2 games as well. Seeing that Lakka currently doesn't support PS2 emulation, I'm keeping Windows as well to run PCSX2. I'll be running Lakka on the SSD and Windows/PCSX2 on the HDD. My question is this:

is there a way that I can choose which drive/OS I want to run when I turn on the computer? I know there has to be a simpler way than me going into my computer's body each time and plugging/unplugging the drive I want. I've tried entering the bios with both drives plugged in, but It's only reading the SDD and not showing the HDD when both are plugged into the motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Both drives should be able to be seen in your motherboard's BIOS, so that's your biggest issue to resolve. Try a different SATA port on your motherboard for that HDD. I've had one go bad on an ASUS motherboard and it about drove me nuts trying to figure out a simple thing like that.

Second, depending on your motherboard's BIOS, you may/should be able to have a boot option to choose between OS's during startup without having to constantly change BIOS boot drive priority. I can't answer that.

Doesn't tapping on function key F11 immediately after POST (Power On Self Test) bring up a list of bootable drives that you can select from?
