It's possible you're referring to one of two things: a glitch or a poorly designed feature. I've encountered similar issues since Windows 7, where bootloaders were stored on a different drive than the intended target. Removing that drive would prevent booting, which should no longer be an issue. If it persists, it highlights concerns about Microsoft's support.
Did you verify during setup if you accessed Advanced Setup and made custom partitions by selecting "New"? Are the partitions labeled as 100MB, 16MB, and "leftover"MB and confirmed they reside on the same disk—specifically your M.2 drive? Also, confirm every partition appears on Disk 1. If Disk 0 is set to 0KB, ensure all labels match "Drive 1".
I installed Windows 10 without issues, but when I tried to upgrade to 11 it rolled back to 10. It seems I need to adjust some BIOS settings for version 11 to work with my motherboard. For testing purposes, the problem was resolved once I identified the faulty board. The phantom drive and instability also contributed, but the motherboard issue was clear. I’m relieved I spotted this during the return process.
