    So you press F9 or F12 and boot from the bios selection ? No problems that is the easiest method, and recommended, but if your having problems you could try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4idr6sXSue0&list=PLS_d8s-cLQwWWLePiVWve1X-_YP6YrwRU&index=10 this is rEFInd easy to setup and maybe it will solve your boot problem, then you will know it is something to do with the Bios boot, and lastly, probably the most difficult duel boot is editing the systemd bootloader of Pop_OS https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md approach with caution, you could lose the ability to boot either system if you make a mistake.

  • Systemd disappears after booting into windows
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 1 Jun 2023
    I currently am trying to dual boot pop os and windows. I have them in separate drives. Yesterday I was following the steps provided by this GitHub https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md. After running windows though the systemd option disappeared from my boot menu. I booted into a live disk to try and see if I could find the drive but only my drive with windows shows up. What do I do?

    Don’t throw windows out, it can be useful, I’d recommend dual booting. For the distro, I’d go with Fedora (Workstation) or PopOS. Fedora’s hard to break and reliable as well as easy to dual boot (guide) while PopOS is Ubuntu based so it can draw from Ubuntu’s giant popularity, but it’s not the easiest to dual boot (guide)

    Using a more sophisticated method, like ed2k is preferred if you can. There is also this.
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 19 May 2023
    In many guides and other post I see people copying the EFI Windows folder similar to this github on a boot partition of approximately 1GB. But the arch wiki recommends installing the package ed2k and mapping a script to boot directly from the Windows EFI.

What are some alternatives?
