In years past I always used dual boot with same version of windows. One hard drive for household use and the other hard drive for just me. I see examples of different versions of windows but not 2 win10 versions. UEFI new to me and unable to get 2nd drive to be active. Anyone have any suggestions?
Unable to dual boot two separate win10 hard drives

"active" is a flag denoting which partition in the MBR partition table the BIOS should hand control to.
UEFI works quite differently, so there is no concept of "active".
UEFI will always hand control to the EFI System partition.
Just use EasyBCD to add a second W10 entry to your BCD pointing at the disk letter by which the booted W10 sees the other copy.
(if you installed the second copy with the first visible, it should have done so automatically anyway, but if you installed it completely independently, then EasyBCD will enable you to do it manually)
