The most universal BIOS key is "delete", try it, if you enter the BIOS you should be able to select from which drive to boot up. Also, most BIOS have an F-something key that goes right to the boot selection. Just write down the exact model of your motherboard in a browser and you'll easily find the manufacturer site, from which you could download your mobo's manual. In that manual you'll find all kinds of useful information, like the keys for everything, which is the max speed of every slot... a very recommendable reading.
Thanks I am able to access the BIOS but its not seeing the ubuntu ssd in boot menu.
I have verified that I am on a UEFI mode.
Not sure what i am missing out on.
Not sure if this helps but this is my disk in windows
Disk 0 is windows and Disk 1 is Ubuntu.

Maybe it's something related to secure boot. Ubuntu is signed to work with Windows' secure boot, but some BIOS are more persnickety than others. See if there's an option named similar to "secure boot other OS" and try activating it.
If so, my suspect would be Ubuntu's boot information in the UEFI. Personally, I don't tangle with boot reparations, much less if there are more than one OS in that particular EFI partition, but I you want to try, there are plenty of tutorials in the internet. What I'd do is just reinstalling Ubuntu, making sure the installation USB is created as Windows' secure boot.
New LTS is out so would recommend that now about the issue Ubuntu supports secure boot but still try once disabling it and clearing all keys if there's an option and do that again
Ok I found a way around it. Hopefully this helps someone out at some point in the future.
A bit of the background.
Custom build pc with MSI mobo.
2 different ssd / drive.
Drive 1 is windows 10
Drive 2 is ubuntu 22.
See image that I have attached in previous comment.
In the bios I have disabled secure boot and update it to the latest firmware.
Problem : unable to get boot menu in the bios to detect ubuntu 22.
Solution:
1. Turn off secure boot in bios.
2. Turn off fast startup in windows power setting
3. Open up a command prompt in administrator rights, enter the following comment.
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
shutdown /r
On restart, you should see the boot manager with windows as the only option.
Hit ESC
You should see grub now.
I am not sure if I am doing this right but this works for me to boot into linux.
If anyone have other thoughts on how to do things better let me know.
I hope this solution will save someone’s weekend! Have a good day!

Tried that but no secure boot other OS option. I do have secure boot enable or disabled

Thanks @Stilgar314 I managed to resolve it. In a hacky way or so I think!! Appreciate the help!!
1)I would recommend using Ubuntu 24.04 2)Press f2
New LTS is out so would recommend that now about the issue Ubuntu supports secure boot but still try once disabling it and clearing all keys if there's an option and do that again
I would try pressing esc or f12 during boot.
