Asked By TechWhiz42 On

I'm having a problem with my Acer Nitro V15 laptop. After experimenting with different Linux distributions, specifically Pop!_OS, my boot order got messed up. Now, I can't find Windows in the boot options in BIOS, though it's still on my second drive. This is a problem for me since I have important files on that drive and I need to use some software that won't work on my current distro, Fedora.

One easy fix you can try is unplugging your main drive. A lot of laptops will automatically look for a Windows loader if they don't detect any bootable drive. This can sometimes help put Windows back in the boot order if it’s been accidentally removed from the EFI options.
