Coming up on Hands-on Tech, let's take a look at something rather nerdy, dual booting Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Stay tuned.

This is Twitter.

Hello and welcome to Hands-on Tech. I am Micah Sargent, and it is my duty, my joy, and my job to take your tech questions and answer them.

So, by the way, if you have tech questions, get in touch. HOT at twit.tv is how you get in touch with me.

To answer, well, to take a look at today's question,

let's see who wrote in. David has written in and has an interesting question that I think

we're going to have to get a little nerdy with. David writes, hi Micah. Hi, David. I have a new

HP desktop that came with Windows 11 home.

I put in a separate SSD to install Windows 10 to make a dual boot system.

It goes through the normal setup, but when it restarts, it goes to recovery mode.

Windows 11 boots fine, and I can choose which one to boot to.

I know the Windows 10 USB is okay because I tried it on another PC and it

worked fine as a dual boot with Windows 11 and 10. I even tried system file checker and found nothing

wrong. I know about the GPT and MBR boot system as the HP system is GPT, as is the new drive

because it lets me install the setup files. It just crashes on the first reboot. Any help would be welcome.

So, David, a little complicated.

A lot going on here.

So I looked into people hanging on to Windows 10 and people attempting to do the same thing as you and what was possibly at the root of this.

And it's confusing.

But it seems to be it is almost certainly related to how your specific HP Windows PC

handles Secure Boot and TPM in combination with SecureBoot TPM and Windows 10.
