Hi there, your setup seems a bit tricky. With no free storage and only an SD slot available, you might need to use the SD card directly instead of relying on the internal drive. Make sure the EFI partition stays on the motherboard and the OS loads correctly from the SD. Since secure boot is off, it’s possible the system is rejecting the EFI image. Try formatting the SD card with a clean EFI setup or using a USB drive as an alternative boot medium. If you need further help, let me know!
I believe loading OS from SD requires some adjustments since Windows needs USB drivers first to access the card reader port. I think there are online guides explaining how to pair USB drivers with the operating system loader. Of course, I might be mistaken, but that’s what I’ve heard and it’s the main reason installing Windows on external drives can be tricky.
You're following the guide correctly, but it seems the Boot.wim file isn't showing up. Try mounting the EFI partition with a USB 3.0 drive and see if you get any boot files. If not, ensure the installation media contains the updated boot.wim or reinstall Windows with the modified file.
