Hello everyone from the EVGA community,
 
I recently bought a EVGA Z370 Classified K
 
Specs: EVGA Z370, i7 8700k
 
Both are OS drives, 860 evo m.2 has one boot drive and the 960 Evo has another boot drive for 2 different purposes
 
The Bios recognizes the 960 EVO under the NVME drive listing.  It says Bus: 3 and the rest of the options 0.  Under sata port options it only shows the 860 Evo.  It is set to UEFI.
Then under Boot, there isn't any option beside Window Manager, but both drives are window 10 and it will only boot from 860 while recognizing the 960 in the boot and while checking my PC.
The Samsung drive is attached to the first m.2 slot 960 Evo (near the battery) and the second m.2 860 Evo is attached to the last one toward the end.
 
I just want to be able to boot from both drives but Z370 EVGA motherboard will not give me an option to select the 960 EVO even in boot override.

    Same issue occurs in the quick boot menu? Spam ESC or F7 when starting the computer to access the quick boot menu.

    When  i tried using  two M.2 SSD as a way to dual boot on the EVGA Classified K ( z270 AND z370 boards )
    my problem may have just been using the early BIOS versions.
    ----------
    I took the easy way out and would set the BIOS to disable the M.2 slot  I was NOT using then did a computer restart.
    ----------
    AS  I only needed a back Windows 10 system in case the latest Windows 10 update  made problems - this worked for me.
