I have 2 operating systems they say Windows 10 and Windows 11. But the Windows 11 one does not have a path to where exactly it is located. As you see in the below picture, Windows 10 has the C:\ path, but which path does the Windows 11 one have? Windows 11 does not have any drive letter that goes with it. I have a vhdx file with Windows 11, but I never added it to the boot menu, and it is not mounted yet. So why is it this, and what will happen if I boot from it?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Install and upgrade

    Can you start Windows 11? If so please do.

    If not then use File Explorer to try to find the Drive and Windows folder for it.

    If you can't start Windows 11 then either the Install was not successful or it has been uninstalled.

If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

    To find out start Windows 11 - the Start --> type in the Search box --> CMD

    Find at the top and Right Click on it - Run as Admin

    Look at the Driver Letter and Prompt.

    Something like: X:\Windows\ where X: is the actual drive letter where Windows 11 is installed.

    Here to help,
