Dual booting in my HP Omen 16 Laptop

Hi,

 

I have an Omen Gaming laptop which has 1TB nvme ssd. I added another 2TB SSD too.

 

1. My question is, whether I can dual boot from these 2 SSDs separately? In my BIOS, it shows booting devices as 1TB ssd only. It is not showing SSD 2. I tried to install Windows 11 into the second ssd (2TB). It installed properly. Now, when I turn on the laptop, it is showing Windows 11 option (from 2nd SSD (2TB)) even though it is booting from first SSD (1TB).

Can I setup the way so that I can choose both devices as booting device from BIOS? Or is it not possible? and why?

I can boot into the second SSD.

 

I would like to have separate boot sector on both SSDs. For example, I can put Linux on 1 SSD and Windows 11 on the other SSD. I know I can dual boot Windows and Linux. But I would like to have it separately so that it saves some boot time and also it is neat.

I am not good at removing/replacing hardware like SSDs. Is there any tool there so that I can create a boot sector on the second ssd?

Thanks

That is correct, you need to clone the 260MB (EFI) + E: + 847MB (Recovery Partition) partitions.
