Windows 10: anyone have experience migrating the boot loader partition to a different drive?

I made the mistake described in this post on TH, in a recent windows 10 PC build:

In the comments, there's are steps to correct this issue posted by 'SkyNetRising', but one of the steps is missing the command:

"It's quite easy.
1. Shrink C: partition by 500MB
2. Make a new primary partition in freed up space, format NTFS, drive letter X:
3. Make the new partition active
4. execute command from elevated command prompt:
5. Reboot your pc into BIOS, change boot priority so that 120GB drive is first
6. Reboot and done
After that you can disconnect your 300GB drive and system should be able to boot without it."

Anyone have experiencing doing this before? Or know what this command might be?

Thanks!

It's not missing, at least it shows up for me.
bcdboot c:\windows /s x:
( both c: and x: is the drive letter of the 120Gb drive )

You can also just use the free version of easybcd to do this,and so much more, with a nice graphical interface.

If the BCD does not work (or too complicated).
