WTF?
Problem description: When I boot my computer, it makes me choose between Windows 10 and Windows 11. If I choose 10, it can't boot successfully. I would like to remove the Windows 10 boot option. In my BIOS, it only shows one boot drive, a Western Digital M.2 NVMe drive. In Disk Management, this drive has 4 partitions - a 499 MB recovery partition, a 99 MB EFI system partition, a 930.29 GB NTFS partition (includes boot, page file, crash dump, and basic data partition), and a 640 MB recovery partition.

This issue may have started when I used Macrium Reflect to copy one drive's contents onto the NVMe drive when I got that. But that was at least two years ago, so I definitely can't rely on my memory there.

Attempted fixes: What have you tried to do to resolve the problem? I can't remember what I've tried in the past (last attempt was at least a year ago). I have checked for old Windows installations on this disk.

Recent changes: I replaced the motherboard, CPU, and RAM this week, but the problem (unsurprisingly) persisted through those changes.

Somehow in all my searching last year I never came across msconfig. That was an easy fix.

It's all it's good for anymore. Maybe boot switches too.

Grats goon.
