The Owner has two hard drives in his PC both with Windows computer. He uses one for work and the other for personal stuff

when he started the PC it showed a screen where he could select which drive he wanted to boot from.

We had to replace one of the drives and looking for info on how we can setup this boot option screen he used to have

    If you want the PC to show the boot menu at startup, set the BIOS/UEFI to boot from the drive containing the Windows Boot Manager. The boot menu will then appear, allowing you to select which Windows installation to boot.

    Restart your PC and enter BIOS/UEFI (usually by pressing F2, Del, or Esc during startup). Make sure both drives are detected. Set the drive you want to boot by default as the primary boot device, or leave it set to boot from UEFI/boot menu.
