My system configuration is:
1. 256 GB SSD (Win 10 installed)
2. 2TB HDD (here I want to install Ubuntu with 200 GB space)
3. UEFI + GPT
4. Acer Predator Helios 3000
5. 16GB RAM/ Intel Core i7 9th Gen/ 6GB Nvidia GTX 1660Ti
I have pre-installed Win 10 Home on my SSD. I want to install Ubuntu 20 LTS on my HDD with dual boot.
Here's what I have tried-
I have read lot of articles and came up with conclusion that the installation of Ubuntu could be proceeded as per the recommendation, with bootloader installed in SSD alongside Windows Boot-Loader in order to get the dual boot done.
My problem-
My system uses SATA Mode- RST Premium with Optane option while booting Windows. If I use this option, then my Ubuntu won't boot. If I set SATA Mode from RST Premium with Optane to AHCI, then Ubuntu gets booted but not Windows.
Here is where I need help. Previously while installing ubuntu, I had also tried to create an EFI partition in HDD, but that also had its own issue (only Ubuntu would boot; for Windows, I have to go again to BIOS and manually select boot option every time, or I have to do some mind-blowing coding in GRUB black screen to boot into Ubuntu some times. A lot of problems).
If its not a big issue, I want to keep the bootloaders of both the OS in SSD. However, I want to install Ubuntu in HDD and keep my Win10 in SSD. Also, after doing the installation, I want a simple dual boot screen from which I could easily boot either of the two OS. No more entering into the BIOS every time I have to toggle my OS.
Thanks for your answers.
