    Better yet, just set a default OS in the Bios, then use the one time boot menu to boot into the other OS when you want to, hopefully you installed each OS while the other drive was unplugged.

    But you can try EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies

    Does EasyBCD support Windows 10?

    Last time I tried it, it did not.

    I have been using EasyBCD to dual boot Windows 10 since the first Insider Build and never had any problems.
