Last night I successfully set up OpenSuse instead of Ubuntu desktop. However, the issue remains that even after installation, I can't access the grub menu to switch between the two operating systems—it always boots into Windows 10. The Windows 10 setup is on a different SSD, while the OpenSuse installation is on an 80GB partition on another drive. What’s missing?

Yes, the OpenSUSE drive is set to have a higher boot priority compared to the Windows drive.

Let me explain it clearly. I’ll break it down step by step so you can follow along easily.

The BIOS should display a boot options interface or similar. Within it, you can configure the sequence in which the BIOS scans your storage devices for bootable files. If the Windows installation has higher priority, the BIOS will evaluate it first and initiate a boot without checking the other drive. You can also access the boot menu by pressing F12, DEL, or another designated key—check your motherboard’s manual or online resources to confirm the exact key. The boot menu allows you to choose which drive to use for startup.

I no longer rely on dual-boot setups; I prefer virtual machines instead. The choice depends on the tasks you plan for the guest OS and whether your system has sufficient resources like CPU cores, threads, and RAM.
