Dual boot win/osx on the same nvme w. different partitions

Hi all,

I got this Fujitsu Lifebook u729 (love this thing. Small, light and quick). Up until now i have ran Win11 and Sequoia on their own separate m.2 drives where i swapped them when needed.

A few days ago, i got this 2TB nvme with the intention to install both OSes using) the OpenCore on the same EFI (following the guide here: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/346365-guide-dual-boot-for-windows-1011-and-macos-on-the-same-disk-windows-installed-first-macos-installed-first-empty-drive/ )

After trying both options (first osx, then win and first win, then osx) i'm none the wiser). The last thing i tried was to install W11, then expanding the EFI-partition from 100 to 200mb, making the repair (after which W11 booted fine), then shrinking the drive (leaving 1.3TB for win and 700GB for OSX) nad then installing Sequioa on the 700GB partition.

Now i ended up with OC only seeing OSX. After following advice on how OC would "automagically" see OSX, even doing the detect/use thing from here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-custom-entry-in-opencore-to-boot-windows.313665/

It will eventually show my "CustomOS" in OC, but trying to boot from it just brings me back to the OC boot-picker.

Are there any fool-proof guides out there that will explain how to do a working multi-partion boot?

Of course, this would be no issue if the machine would allow (say) two m.2 units as it would be a matter of UEFI precedence, but in this case, i only have one m.2 available (second one is occupied by this useless Sierra 3G wireless card that is also whitelisted).
