Hey Guys,
I'm trying to set up a dual-boot system on my laptop with Windows and MacOS (Opencore), each on its own separate SSD. I first took out the Windows SSD that came with the laptop and installed MacOS on a new SSD. The MacOS installation went smoothly. However, when I reinstalled the Windows SSD, I couldn't boot into MacOS anymore. When I remove the Windows SSD, MacOS boots up just fine. My Windows installations is UEFI and GPT formatted. I've set the boot order correctly but still can't get both to work simultaneously. I've searched online, but haven't found a solution to this specific issue. I could really use some help.

The while booting with both ssds, it gets stuck at the part shown in the image for a bit and then just simply reboots back to Opencore picker.

PS: I understand that this forum thread says desktop support, hope laptop support request wont be a problem. Sorry
