os-prober does not return Windows 10 on another drive
I'm 1-day old to Linux, so excuse me if my question is not very clear!
I have my Windows 10 on HDD. I added an SSD and installed Ubuntu on it. Both boot perfect except Windows is always the default and have to press F12 and select to boot from SSD to get into Linux.
I am trying to add Windows to Grub so I would have the option to either boot to linux or window without going to boot options every time.
My BIOS settings:
Boot option: UEFI
Secure Boot: Disabled
Load legacy option rom: Enabled
When I do
sudo os-proberit returns nothing. But here is what I get from

Thanks @oldfred and @CelticWarrior,
Here is what I did at the end:
BIOS setting:
- Boot option: UTFI
- Secure boot: Disabled
- Load Legacy Option Rom: Disabled
I also made new bootable usb with GPT scheme for UEFI. Everything went smooth during installation. Now, when I reboot my computer it asks me to boot to Ubuntu or Windows. Perfect!
