thank you bro, everytime i try to watch dualboot videos it's just one drive. but i found ur video and i can now dualboot from seperate drives. i liked ur video

i wasnt even thinking about actual reasons to install both OS's on separate drives I just didn't feel like dealing with partitions lmao

Dude, be careful. There's an Evangelion on your desk.

Great tutorial. I followed your instructions and now I have Ubuntu on my new SSD, and Windows working exactly as it was on SSD1. Smooth. Sleek. Thank You.

for easy way to get into the boot manager open command prompt type command "shutdown /r /o". this will automatically shutdown the computer restart and go straight into advance boot options. /r = restarts the computer after shutdown. /o = goes to the Advanced boot options menu and restarts the device. This option must be used with the /r option. You can also use /t and a number after to shutdown and restart after a certain number of seconds if your still working something. example = shutdown /r /o /t 30

Bro I can’t thank you enough for making this video, everyone! Share the knowledge! More people need to know this!

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for as I just bought a NVMe SSD to install linux on it ( I have Win10 on my SATA SSD). I want to try either the latest Fedora or Arch Linux, but I wasn't sure how to go about the GPT partitions and the bootloader. So basically you choose the setup option to use the entire second SSD, it will create another EFI system partition on that and install GRUB on it, then you configure GRUB to chainload the Windows bootloader on the other disk, right? I wasn't sure whether you need to create some other GPT partitions on the Windows disk in order to have this setup working, but I guess it's simpler than I thought.

i don’t think u understand how helpful this video is to people. they wrote in multiple forums to DISCONNECT the windows hard drive before installing Linux…💀

Thanks for the video. It appears to work. I’ll do some more work tomorrow (setup). It was nice knowing which drive to choose, since the drives in the drop-down are complex names.

nice tutorial, thank you, do you know how to remove the linux system, just erase the ssd which the linux is located is ok?

Really now? You record the monitor with a camera!?

His PC looks so cool wtf. Looks like a transformers head😂

Hey I have a big problem and need help I downloaded Kali and it asked me to install grub so I Said yes but now I can't boot into windows drive anymore I can still see it in my Linux but whatever I do I can't boot into it

I did everything in the video, but when I choose the disk with Ubuntu installed on it in the boot menu, it just boots into windows. I checked disk management and the drive with Ubuntu installed is showing with the proper partitions, but idk why the system won't boot into it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

So I installed CachyOS and when I reboot there is no dual boot option, it just goes right into Windows 11. I went into my BIOS and went to HDD BBS Priorities and placed the Linux boot manager first but that did not make any difference at all. To be clear I installed CachyOS on an 8TB drive that is different than the 1TB NVME drive Windows is installed on. Any suggestions?

I installed endavour os on a seperate drive and it broke my windows boot manager somehow??

Can i use rufus or ventoy to make a bootable instead of etcher?

Why fat32?

I'm going to do this. Easy as. Thanks bro.

mhm for me it only shows NFTS & exFAT

Great video, have had to come here a few times as a reminder.

This is great! I didn't figure out the boot is F11 until i watched the video (everywhere else said F10/F12/Esc/Delete but none worked for me)

Very good video! How could I make both OS appear in the boot?

Hey man! I installed Linux Mint this way but I now want to switch to Arch Linux. What would be the safest way to format my Mint SSD so I can install Arch there? Much appreciated in advance bro, happy to see you uploaded a vid a bit ago :D

When I follow your video, in the installation type part, i select the erase option like you do but it show install now instead of continue. I am not able to pick the other SSD. I don’t know what is wrong. Cause when I use the window I am able to detect another ssd

It's best to use two separate SSD or NVme drives. You can use an external USB 3.1/C case for Linux and boot from it each time whenever you want. That way, you can disconnect the external drive with Linux whenever you choose. Do you have a tutorial for installing Linux Mint in the same way so we see what's best to do or not do during the installation? I have one other question. Is there a program that I can install that boots up automatically that gives me a choice to click on which drive OS I want to boot from without needing to go into boot manager by hitting a key quickly in boot up each time? I also have Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled in BIOS, just FYI. Thanks for the help.

Bro next time you record a video either increase your windows scale to 200% or record it in 4k(im assuming that you are using 4k) and you should turn that noise cancellation on your microphone and you are good nevertheless video was helpful

I have a Dell XPS with Linux currently installed. I was hoping to purchase a second SSD to install Windows 10 to dual boot. Can this be done in reverse order?

If I install Linux to a fresh ssd and unplug my existing drives, it won’t give me any troubles booting up windows?

I have been wanting to setup a dual boot for a while so that I can still use windows while I get used to linux. Everything you showed in the videos seems simple enough. But my question is this. In my case I have multiple standalone SATA drives(not USB) that only contain media files(no OS files or programs), will those drives be accessible by both the windows OS and the linux OS? They are all standard NTFS.

Hi... I'm looking for a solution that just turns off the device I'm not booting from. That way I can be sure both environments can remain unaffected by the other. I know there's a way to disable drives in BIOS but I want to know if there's a hardware level solution for this. Is there a motherboard that allows to switch drives on & off? Please answer.

Amazing tutorial. I'll use same method on my computer.

My sata hdd is not detected by linux , only it shows bootable usb drive for installation.

Very clear! Thank you!

My Linux SSD filesystem is ext4, and windows ofc is nfs (or smth like that I forgot), can I copy or paste from between OS disks?

Should I choose NTFS or exFAT for my new SSD that will be having Linux?

Very helpful, thank you

Thank you for the video. I see you're using bluetooth M+KB. How did you get this to work with selecting OS on startup in dual boot? My bluetooth only engages after i launch into some OS.

awesome video, so helpful, just what i was looking for, also that's a BadAss looking computer.

Thanks for an excellent video. I'm using a Dell Precision T1650. I was able to install Ubuntu as you describe. I have to hit F12 to select the boot source. Is there a way to get it to default to Ubuntu? If I do nothing Windows appears. Thanks!

Great video. Thanks to you that I finally was able to access my Zorin on a separate ssd. I have another ssd with Linux Mint on it. I was wondering how to add it to the list on the boot loader. After I kept hitting F11 on my keyboard I only see windows 11 & Zorin for right now. Please help.

Etcher never works for me for some reason, but Rufus is a good alternative.

Can u create a dual boot dual drive video where both systems are encrypted (Linux: LUKS; Win:Veracrypt)? How does one do this and have a UEFI working bootloader?

Can I do this with two windows 10 ? I want to separate my systems one for gaming and one for music production

I only used Linux (Ubuntu now) and decided to add Windows 10 Pro. I don't like Windows at all and will use it rarely. My machine default boots to Ubuntu and I want it that way. I installed Windows on a separate SSD (don't want windows buggering everything up) and physically disconnected my Ubuntu SSD before installing windows because I don't trust Microsoft. Now I have both OS's installed but when I want to load Windows I have to go into BIOS and tell it to boot from windows disk / part. Not really a big deal but would love for GRUB to provide the Windows option. GRUB does not see the Windows partition on the other drive. I commented "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false" updated GRUB etc... Maybe I need a custom menu? I would prefer GRUB to handle the multi-OS-boot.

So one doesnt need to worry about bitlocker or secure boot the bios?

worked for me. thanks

I’m thinking of switching from software dev to security. Are you in Denver? I’d love to have a chat sometime.

Did you saw any issue if linux is installed first?

I have the two operating systems on separate drives, when I boot the computer they both appear as an option, however, when Linux Mint goes to boot all I get is a black screen and a command prompt with this on it 👉 GRUB>_ It flashes, waiting for me to type something in order to continue to LinuX Mint. When I disconnect the Windows hard drive the Linux operating system boots without any problems. I used 'EasyBCD' to dual boot them too, but still no joy. Does anyone know how fix this?

F11 doesn't work on my alienware aurora r16. Is there another keyboard shortcut?

I installed 5 OSes on 5 separate SSD, including Windows 11, macOS, Arch, Fedora and Gentoo. Recently I tried to update Windows 11 from 21H2 to 23H2 several times, all trials end up in failure. The only solution is to disconnect all other drives except the Windows from my computer, then 23H2 installation succeeded. Have you encountered this kind of issues?

Thank God. Thankyou.

What m.2 drives do you recommend

Hm...thank you for this video, but unfortunately this is not exactly what I need. I have my Windows on one Drive, and another SSD which I split into two partitions. One part should be further reserved for files from windows and the other part is for the ubuntu installation. Erasing the disk would mean both partitions would be erased, right?

is that a tv? which one u r using?

Fat 32 is old. obsolete. My win 10 doesn't give that option.

Wow thank you so much - great detailed explanation! Took too long for me to find this video 😅 Also nice rig

Hi please help me!!!(THANK YOU) OLD SSD - OS, and games (but now, working as a VA, and the company downloaded work tools and SENTINEL ONE, which blocked the Vanguard of VALORANT or Riot- Online Game) OLD HDD - Pics, docs, files NEW SSD - Empty (Planning to install OS(Windows 10 or 11) ) As per my coworkers who had the same issue before, they did a dual boot. However, my OLD SDD and OLD HDD are almost full to follow this tuts, to customize drivers sizes. What I am planning to do is to add NEW SSD then install OS and ALL OF MY GAMES before, and then I want my NEW SSD and OLD HDD to be together, like my new personal computer. And then my OLD SSD to be my work computer, run alone when working, and not be able to read the other two drivers OLD HDD and NEW SSD because if so, Sentinel One will just read drivers and still be able to block the Valorant that I will install in the NEW SSD. Is it possible? If this is possible, do you have tutorials or am I just going to do the same as your tutorial above and that's it? or maybe some keywords I can search about it? I hope I explained it and you got my point, sorry, English is not my first language. My bad. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Hope you notice me, gaming is part of my life.

every time i turn on the pc i have to go to BIOS? how to make GRUB do that for me? so i can choose the so i want without go to BIOS. is it possible?

cant you just extract the iso file into the designated usb drive and not use that program? like if you have 7zip, winrar, or zipme on hand then you cant literally just extract the folders into the usb. also, couldnt you just flash it on the drive your using? then it's already for boot installation?

I installed linux on an ssd. I dont like it. How do i install windows on that ssd? I only have one ssd. Please help.

Hi bro can I install 3-4 os in a physical machine not using virtulization like different version of windows and different flavour of linux os? What will be the procedure which has to be installed first windows or linux and does every os be installed on different partitions. Also if I need to install multiple flavor of linux like ubuntu, rocky, centos on one physical systems without windows is that possible.Please reply

So jealous of your computer tower..

Thnx

All this tech, no hr microphone / tie mic

Whooaa..your system..

Lost me in the partition steps, it would have been clearer to just start over without that previous installation

on one ssd you can be normal functioning human and on other you can be a degenerate like rest of us!

2 exact same SSD models are a bad idea you could have wiped out your windows10 drive easily so better off with a different model or capacity.

Nice, now I can't boot windows

bro wtf is that computer

Good tutorial but whatever that microphone is needs to be thrown into a dump. Please get an actually good one, doesn't have to be top-tier.

That doesn't gonna work. 😂😂😂😂

Bruh sort that audio out

It was a great waste of time seeing your untidy video

wow what a poor quality video. to much background noise. no likes here. i need to learn this stuff but to many distractions. maybe a version2.0?
