I'm trying to figure out how to boot Windows 10, which is set up in legacy mode, alongside my Linux Mint installation that's running in UEFI mode. They're on separate drives, and switching them in BIOS is pretty annoying. Is there a way to get both operating systems to work together in GRUB?

If you're considering managing your drives, I just moved a drive from MBR to GPT without losing any data using some software called EaseUS Partition Master. Might be worth looking into if you're trying to streamline things!
Unfortunately, legacy and UEFI boot modes can’t really coexist on most UEFI systems due to incompatibility. The boot processes are fundamentally different, which complicates things if you want them running in harmony.
That method looks a bit iffy to me, just a heads up!
