Set up a dual operating system by running Pop_OS and Windows 10 simultaneously.
Hi, I see your issue with dual booting between Windows 10 and Pop OS. You’ve installed Pop alongside your Windows install and can switch between them by adjusting the BIOS boot order, which works fine. However, when using the boot manager, Pop OS isn’t listed. Since each OS is on a separate drive, you’re wondering if GRUB should be added as a boot manager since Windows only detects Windows. That sounds like a solid approach—would you like more details or guidance on setting that up? Thanks!
Yes, the Windows boot manager identifies various versions of Windows like 7, 8, 10, 11, plus server or professional editions. GRUB seems to be the right option for you. Although I’m not familiar with Linux, this video might offer some guidance. The person in the video is running Windows 7 and Ubuntu (Pop! OS is based on Ubuntu), but it’s just a suggestion to explore further.
PopOS operates with systemd-boot instead of grub. For dual-booting Windows, refer to the provided guide at the specified link. Ensure PopOS is listed first in your BIOS setup. Upon starting the drive, a boot menu should now display Windows and PopOS as available options.
On UEFI system I recommend testing rEFind, it will identify the kernel automatically from your storage device.
