   Is it possible to dual-boot both MBR & G

   As per subject, as I now have on the same PC some OSs  -  Ubuntu24,   
   Windows7/10  -  installed on an MBR disk and Windows 11 installed on a   
   GPT/UEFI disk, I'd like if possible to find a way of booting any of   
   them, and MBR/GPT USB sticks, without constantly having to change the   
   BIOS settings on the PC.   
      
   Research into whether this is possible seems to produce mixed results,   
   mostly not, but a few suggesting it's possible, but I haven't yet found   
   anything with clear and understandable instructions on how to achieve it.   
      
   My own gut feeling is that it should be possible, but, while I have a   
   good understanding of how a PC boots an MBR disk, I have less   
   understanding how one boots a GPT/UEFI disk.   
      
   Has anyone here been able to achieve this?  Does anyone know of good   
   reliable sources of information about this?
