It would help if you were using Windows 10's troubleshooting settings. I'm sorry for the confusion earlier. You can find the command prompt in the standard one by going to Advanced Options, then Command Prompt. If you need more guidance, let me know!

I just wanted to share a quick update. I now have a fully working fresh install of 7 and 10 on separate SSDs. I don’t want to repeatedly press F12 six times each time I start up to reach my main Windows 10 installation. If I leave it unchanged, with both drives connected, the system shows a warning that no boot device is selected. I used to rely on EasyBCD, but I think it was the issue last time—probably because I unplugged the 7 drive once and it broke everything. I’m worried about using EasyBCD again without knowing its limits, especially when dealing with OS drives. Is there a more native method for dual booting that doesn’t require going through the motherboard’s boot manager every time?

I feel like I'm a bit lost reading my own thread for answers, so is the consensus that using EasyBCD is the best (or only?) way to get a UI that asks me which ssd to boot from?
