Hi,i have two drives one im useing just now has W11 the other drive has W10 and they are set to duel boot.
i had an issue where both drives shut down after booting up within 1 min, i managed to sort the issue on W11 and its up and running fine,to do the same on the other drive with w10 cant be done as it doesnt give me time to get to the setting to stop it happening.
The question is,how can i access settings in my second drive (F) from what im booted into (c) to turn the setting s off that are causing issues in the (F) drive?

Hi there

Re-install W11 bootloader for each OS you want to be able to boot into :

e.g :

"Seemples"

Thanks for all the help again.
