Change BIOS settings when PC detects USB

My current arch installation is on an SSD in an enclosure that I connect to my PC via a USB-C to USB-B connector. Is there any way for me to make it so that my PC automatically detects the drive, and puts it at the top of the boot order? (So I can have the PC boot to Windows when the drive isn't attached, and grub (Arch) when it is attached.)

Re: Change BIOS settings when PC detects USB

Make sure Fast Boot in firmware is disabled, as that delays the detection of usb devices until an OS has started .

Other then that, what you want is default behaviour .
Entries in boot order for devices that are not present will be skipped.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
