As subject states:
UEFI bios, systemd-boot, separate hard drives, dual boot w/ windows, linux was installed first.
I need help, Arch user +- 4 years? I have been able to get by with just the wiki until now. Great documentation. hands down the best there is.
I am unable to find in the wiki or here on the forms my specific use case. Or I have overlooked it, or have been to anal retentive to be able to see that this has been solved.
I am on a UEFI motherboard, using systemd-boot. I have two separate hard drives. One with linux and the other with windows 10. With linux installed first.
How can I dual boot this machine like I use to with grub2?
I have not been able to find this particular scenario. If someone has seen it can you please post the link, or even better where exactly it is in the documentation.
This has seemed to elude me.

The problem here is that you have two distinct ESP partitions. systemd-boot can only boot EFI binaries available on its "own" ESP partition. GRUB can fix this easily as it has broader support here. You could also install the Windows UEFI loader files on the ESP you've set up for linux, but you'll have to ask/check google for that on a Windows support forum.

That's a perfect answer, thank you. So to solve my problem I need to use GRUB.
