| Oct 17, 2023 at 17:29 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | No. More than one ESP is possible but not recommended and in any case NEVER in the same drive but that's a moot point anyway because the lastly installed Windows taskes control of the boot manager (then Grub merely chainloads to that manager). Thousands have asked the same question and the answer has been, invariably, NO. Have a nice day. | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 17:03 | comment | added | NanoBreaker | @ChanganAuto is it possible to create multiple EFI partitions, for instance I want to split Windows Boot Loader into two separate things so they can load windows instances directly? | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 16:39 | comment | added | anon | You can get what you want by using Windows 11 as host and then the other machines as virtual machines. Works better for me | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 16:38 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | There are No good/safe ways. Is it such an inconvenience to do the two steps? | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 16:37 | comment | added | NanoBreaker | @ChanganAuto So there are no real ways to boot multiple windowses from the grub directly? The only option is to access with Windows Boot Manager? | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 16:34 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | No, Boot Repair is not for that. I strongly advise, going forward, to not change anything. The Windows bootloader manager is designed to work like that. | |

@DrMoishePippik I've tried GRUB customizer and ended up having errors on save, something related to the discovery of windows boot manager with os-prober, I will to fix it with boot-repair
