Hi,

I had kind of similar problem last week because I change my pc with a 
new one but asked the maker to use my 2 disk w11/12 canary and ubuntu 
24.04, on a ryzen 9 7900x but I didn't imagine the kinds of problems I 
would have

On web there are some sites which can help . Can you start in ubuntu ?

search dual boot w10 ubuntu .

grep -q "DISABLE_OS_PROBER" /etc/default/grub && sudo sed -i 
's/^#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER/GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER/' /etc/default/grub 
|| sudo sed -i '/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=/a\GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false' 
/etc/default/grub

I tried this from here

https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2083517

I searched for fews days, installing a new ubuntu 24.04 because it's the 
next ubuntu LTS.

You need to know where is your boot if sda or sdb if it's efi... And 
more whitout these I can't help you at the end my problem was really 
stupid fast secure boot false and time to boot from 1 to 5 second to get 
a menu !

but if you can either boot from bios to w10 or ubuntu you can probably 
do it ! Help you with google search

I can't not help you much maybe somesone can. But you need more to know 
about your system

Best
