Alright while this is not much of a Hackintosh issue I figured I still would get the most help regarding OpenCore here.
My system looked as follows:
NVMe - No OS - EFI partition holds OC and is the main boot-point of my PC
SSD 1 - Windows 11 - EFI Partition holds Windows Bootloader
SSD 2 - Windows 10 - EFI Partition holds Windows Bootloader
SSD 3 - macOS Big Sur - EFI Partition holds backup-copy of main OC install
Having four EFI partitions might seem excessive but that setup allowed me to always boot either Windows OS via my EFI boot-menu essentially skipping OC if I wanted should anything happen to it and OC always displayed either EFI partition neatly to boot.
Today I had to reinstall Windows 11 over itself to fix an issue I was having and while I did disable the macOS and Windows 10 SSD in my EFI to prevent alterations I was too lazy to unplug the NVMe this time which turned out to be a mistake.
Upon reinstallation everything works again but Windows 11 now changed itself to boot off the NVMe EFI partition. Interestingly enough it did not overwrite OC but placed itself next to it as it seems. I can no longer select the Win11 SSD in the EFI boot menu or OC as a valid boot-entry but OC still has two entries, one for Win10 and one for Win11 and both worth so Windows 11 must have placed its .efi file next to OC on the NVMe.
The EFI partition is still present on the Win11 SSD, would anyone have an idea how to safely get Win11 off of my OC EFI partition and reactivate the EFI partition of the Win11 SSD?
Thanks for help in advance! :)
