I've recently set up Windows 10 on my SSD and installed Manjaro alongside it. Initially, I could boot into Windows directly, but now I'm facing an issue where the system shows a dual boot menu that includes an older Windows installation on an HDD as well as my Manjaro setup. I would like to access my Windows installation on the SSD without having to reinstall it, though I'm open to reinstalling Linux if needed. Any ideas on how to resolve this without a full reinstall?

It sounds like your system might be detecting the wrong Windows boot option. If you're using GRUB, check out the Arch Linux Wiki for help on setting up boot options. You might want to enable OSProber; it should detect all the available operating systems. If you see the old Windows version on your HDD showing up, you might need to manually remove that entry. Good luck!
I tried using OSProber, but it only found the HDD version. Then I checked my BIOS and it pointed to the old Windows installation. But I discovered that the new SSD installation booted properly!
