Windows10 Boot menus.
I have two instances of Windows10 on the one
motherboard. Each is on its own 500GB Samsung SSD. It's confusing when booting up and switching from one SSD to another because the labeling is identical for each on the boot menu. Is there a way to label each SSD distinctively on this menu? |

Are you using a Dual Boot, or are you changing the Bios to get to the other drive? If you are dual booting, BCDEdit would help fix the dual boot menu. |

Tenforums Tutorial section will have an example. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html That's not a spoon feeding. You have to keep your wits about you when using bcdedit (if you screw up, you'll need to learn even more to fix it :-/ ) Another tool is third-party "Easybcd", but there are different versions, and perhaps the most recent one is needed for working with GPT/UEFI setups. The older copy I have here, kept claiming absolutely no entries were in the menu at all, which at the time was wrong. So I couldn't use Easybcd to do what needed doing. The current version likely fixes that (but would require me to register or whatever to get a copy). Paul |

If you are dual booting, BCDEdit would help fix the dual boot menu. I can get bye just with the "Channel No" on the menu. |
