I recently upgraded my PC by removing some old hard drives and adding a new 2TB NVME SSD as a replacement. I have a 500GB NVME SSD that has Windows files on it, but after the upgrade, I'm having trouble getting Windows 11 to boot from it. Initially, my PC tried to boot from an old laptop HDD that I had connected, but after disconnecting that, I now just get the BIOS screen when I power on. The BIOS recognizes the 500GB NVME drive, and I can see the Windows files are still there. Is there a way to fix this without doing a fresh install of Windows 11?

It sounds like your boot partition might be missing or corrupted after the changes. You could try booting from a Windows USB installer and perform a repair, which might solve the issue without needing a full reinstall.
If you have access to an old HDD with Windows 10, you can definitely create your own bootable USB for Windows 11 using the Microsoft website. Just make sure you have a USB stick ready, and you should be able to get that going!
