I was testing Windows 11 and planning a dual boot configuration. This was my first attempt, so when I faced issues, I transferred my current Windows 10 installation to a spare drive. Then I reinstalled Windows 10 on that secondary disk. After that, I restored my original drive with the Windows 10 setup. When launching the system, I’m missing the boot menu and can’t select between operating systems. I’ve only managed to use the UEFI boot priority feature, but I’m unsure how to make Windows boot manager visible. Any suggestions? (Apologies if this setup went wrong)

They are maintained apart from the boot manager and aren't aware of its presence. You can select the boot drive from your BIOS settings during startup using the available options. This seems the simplest method. If you truly need the boot manager to function, you'd have to modify the BCD file to include the additional drive.

Use EasyBCD to insert a Win11 boot entry into the Win10 boot manager.
