Hello,

I’m uncertain if this is the right community for this but…

I recently bought an SSD to run Linux on it and have my old SSD still with Windows (see my previous post for more info). My laptop only has one slot for SSD so I bought a USB-C hub which included an SSD slot. I switched the old SSD to the USB-C Hub but now windows won’t boot. In the boot loader it does seem to recognise a Windows boot but when I do so it says there was a problem finding the device.

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?

I’m using a Dell G15 laptop

    Used to be that way years ago when I swapped to Linux. I didn’t use windows anymore I don’t know how dual boot works nowadays.

      This issue is related to grub, i switched to refind and then to systemd bootloader so I don’t remember the fix.

        reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.
