Why, yes, it does because it has gone to gradual school.

So it looks like the SSD drive was the EFI partition and the C drive, which had windows 10 on it.
The other disk had windows 7 on the D, and some data drives.
Running the recover partition manage, from Hierens boot CD (now efei and windows 10, as always, a really good tool), I had to re create a partition on the SSD for EFI, named it the C drive, and do the steps form here: Fix the MBR – Guide for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10[^]
cd /d c:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
Then type the bootrec command to repair the volume:
bootrec /fixboot
Type this command to recreate the BCD
bcdboot D:\Windows /l en-us /s C: /f ALL
It boots into windows 7 now, but of course windows 10 is lost (as if I care).
What is weird is how sometime on monday from shutting it down to tuesday morning the SSD got nuked.
Perhaps it is hardware failure, if it fails to boot again it looks like this is the case, but at least I know how to get it back anyway.

My SDD manufacturer (SanDisk) has a "SSD Dashboard" which gives details of the drive health status (99% life remaining in my case, and has been for several years)
It might be worth checking if yours does something similar?

most likely a w10 "update" 'fixing things up for you' - known issue on multi boot with 10 & updates.

I think it might have been a windows up date actually. There was a splurge of them on monday.
But to hose the SSD drive though, dear oh god!

I do a lot of windows kernel work though, so I need to use windows.

In a VM, right?

The other way around is far more reliable. Set up a Docker container under Windows (Windows can run both Windows and Linux flavor containers, but not the other way around) with bash and apt-get: That should be enough for everbody. At least for Linux guys.
A shell and a case sensitive file system and command interpreter is all it takes to make a Linux guy happy, as long as he can apt-get all that he needs for the current session. A Docker container has internet access and can do command line I/O. What more do you need?
As soon as the session is closed, the container purged, everything is cleaned up and gone. That is a great way to make Linux available on a Windows PC.

Yeah, about that... The goal (for me) is to remove Windows from the box completely. I only keep it around in a VM so I can do the occassional Windows dev stuff. 99% of my time is spent in the host Linux OS.

I have done this quite a lot, but sometimes the setup doesnt suit a VM.

I've been wanting to ask if anyone here has seen a SSD failure yet? (by failure, I mean to the point that the data is not retrievable without forensics)
I've just retired the first one I ever purchased in 2011, a 64GB Patriot that ran server 2008 non-stop until last month. The original data disk in that box, a 500GB Seagate failed almost 3 years ago, just a month before it's scheduled replacement date. Backups are important.

I'm sure we all blind here not recognizing how it is impossible to read the white 'Code Project' text on the orange background...
Slack knows better... so not let me save the #ff9900 color as background because "This color’s not dark enough for your app name to be read. Try another?"...
And the question is totally theoretical as I can not say no...

I just tried your color and it took too. Sidebar only. Where were you wanting it?

Be Careful, if you try one of their choices you GET that choice. No undo so copy your color string at the bottom BEFORE making any changes.
I learned the hard way.

I'm talking about app development for Slack...
And the color is the background for my app-logo...

I believe the term for that is a rhetorical question.
