So I'm using my main computer which uses Windows 11 to install Windows 10 onto another SSD using USB media.
After finishing the install, I remove the SSD from the computer as well as the bootable media USB. Then when I try to start up, I'm greeted with error 0xc000000e saying recovery/repair is needed.

I'm able to boot to Windows 11 after pressing F9 "Select another operating system"
Any advice?

Hi, Andrew_1114 . I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

You may have installed windows on another disk, but the boot may have been on the same hd, which should be the error trying to iniciate windows 10

To solve the problem:

Enter Windows 11

Press Win+R to open the Run box, type msconfig and press Enter.

Open the "Startup" tab, and make sure you have both versions of Windows, select the Windows 11 version and click the "Set as default" button to make it the default option at boot.
