So, I have the following scenario: Two SSDs, in one I have windows 10 installed in the other one I have the Ubuntu(20.04.1) installed. As a tutorial I used something similar: https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-alongside-with-windows-10-in-dual-boot/. The only difference is that I never had the option install alongside windows or windows boot manager. Installation of Ubuntu was done using the "something else" route, formatted the second SSD, one partition(only "/" -> simplicity).
Now, I have two questions:

  1. Using the previous installation, It seems I cannot see the menu where one can choose the OS. My assumtion is that grub was not properly updated. How can I fix this without damaging Windows 10? Is sudo update-grub sufficent? I verified if it is installed properly by clicking f12 during reboot, the second ssd was shown and I could boot into Ubuntu. All good there, only issue is that is not shown in the boot menu.
  2. If let's say in the future I have the same scenario - install Ubuntu after windows 10(different SSDs or any hard drives), is there a way to install it properly from the beginning? -> meaning I can see the menu every time the computer starts. thanks.
