I recently upgraded to a new SSD for extra storage, as my old one wasn't compatible with secure boot. I also have a Windows 11 installation USB plugged in, but whenever I try to start my PC, it blue screens, giving me an error that says I'm missing system files (specifically system32), even though the installation USB is connected.

Have you made sure to go into your BIOS settings and select the bootable USB drive as the first boot device? If the computer doesn’t know where to look for the operating system, it won't work properly. You might need to tweak some boot settings to get it recognized correctly.
It sounds like your system might not meet the requirements for Windows 11. Check if your motherboard's BIOS is updated and if Secure Boot is set up correctly with your new SSD. Sometimes it's just a matter of looking at those BIOS settings!
