Dual Boot Win 10/11 - want to change from my current Windows Boot Manager selection to simple BIOS disk order boot

Current state:

  1. Dual Boot Windows Environment on separate HDs (one HD has Win 10 installed, the other HD has Win 11 installed). Win 11 installed on HD 1, Win 10 installed on HD 2
  2. Both are Bitlocker encrypted
  3. Current boot order is done via windows boot manager: I get a Windows Boot Loader prompt at startup to select the OS I want to boot into
  4. In my BIOS boot order setup screen, there is only one entry for “EFI” - Windows Boot Manager (HD 1) … HD 2 doesn’t show up

Desired Future State:

  1. get rid of Windows Boot Loader
  2. have both HD 1 and HD 2 show up in the BIOS boot order screen (currently only HD 1 does)
  3. going forward just use BIOS boot order to choose HD 1 or HD2 in the boot order for when I want my Win 10 or Win 11 install

Notes:

  • don’t want to reformat either drive and loose data
  • don’t want to reinstall windows
  • don’t want to get rid of Bitlocker
  • I followed a guide online to get my current setup - but have lost the bookmark

Is this something I can achieve? Anyone friendly enough to share some links/guide for me to follow to execute this? My skill level with Windows is mediocre.
