Windows not recognized by grub bootloader

Hi, I have installed ZorinOS 16 on a separate drive and windows 10 on another drive. when I update grub it does not see the windows boot manager. I remember that you need to install a few programs to have grub find the windows boot manager but don't remember which ones I need. Zorin is on the first drive and windows on the second drive. I know that the windows drive is set for efi but not sure with the Zorin drive. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you please open a terminal and run (Please ensure your windows drive is plugged in and running):

sudo os-prober

If Windows is spotted, then run

sudo update-grub

and relay your results?

A post was split to a new topic: Zorin OS 16 not seeing Windows at Boot

I have been trying for a week or more to install both Pop! OS and Zorin 16. I won't go into all that now but I finally decided to just install each one on their own drive. But then how do I get grub to show me two choices? I just read this post about using os-prober and update grub and now I have a choice of Zorin or Pop! Os without having to go into bios each time to choose the drive. I just wait for grub to load and choose from there. This forum and the mods are FANTASTIC!! Thanks once again for such great advice and help.
