Windows and Pop OS dual boot issues Technical challenges during installation Compatibility and setup difficulties
In early May this year I started using Pop OS on an SSD in my PC running Windows 10. Everything functioned smoothly until summer when I reinstalled Windows. Now I face issues because my BIOS doesn’t let me choose the SSD as a boot option—it only displays Windows Boot Manager and the standard drive. My challenge is to make the SSD appear as a bootable drive so the prompt appears correctly when I restart.
You can reinstall GRUB by booting from a live USB or CD and following the installation prompts. This process typically updates your bootloader but doesn’t necessarily fix BIOS issues unless you’re updating firmware.
With UEFI setup, you don’t pick the boot drive, so choose the EFI partition in the boot manager—this is the right approach. For more tips, check out this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/831216/h...-partition
