I have Windows 10 on one drive and Windows 11 on another. When I upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11, how will I be able to tell which drive is going to boot up? Right now, when I turn on the PC, it asks if I want Windows 10 or Windows 11.

    If you upgrade your Windows 10 to Windows 11, the boot manager will likely still show both options, but both will be labeled as Windows 11.

    In Start Search type msconfig and hit the Enter key.

    Click Boot tab

    You can rename each entry by editing boot configuration data with the steps below.

    Open Command Prompt as Admin and type:

    bcdedit /set {current} description "Windows 11 - Upgraded"

    or,

    bcdedit /enum
