My wife has been using my PC since she's working remote now. I got a second nvme drive and have cloned the old hard drive to it.

Is there anyway to setup a boot selector menu similar to grub in Linux? Currently I can change the boot priority in the bios but that would have to be done everytime we want to boot to a different drive. I was hoping there was some type of a workaround for that.

That's the way it is setup now, but she has very strict protocols set up on her account that often interfere with mine. I've also running a situations where I can't access certain settings on my account because of restrictions. I know there's a way to fix these issues, but I thought if each of us just had our own separate boot it would make it easier.

The problem with that is it was configured to her system and not yours which has different chipset, drivers and firmware.

The clone drive is also written as it was the primary drive and not a secondary drive when looking to drive C and cannot find it or may end up writing to another drive all together.

If the security portals are that stringent then you honestly should look into getting her a system. Or look into repairing the other system.

Doing this in any way shape or form would cause us to go against the TOS.
