I purchased a fresh SSD (disk 0), set it up and booted Windows from the USB installation media. It doesn’t have EFI, recovery, or OEM partitions. Windows seems to work without them. The first disk is the laptop’s SSD, likely created by the manufacturer, but why are those partitions completely free?

I was mistaken, those are still required.

The EFI and Recovery sections are essential for starting the system. The EFI section holds your boot loader. You definitely need those sections—currently they're on your old 250GB storage, so you'll have to: A. Insert them yourself (which is time-consuming) or B. Remove everything except your fresh drive and reinstall Windows.

It seems like you're experiencing an issue, possibly related to a previous partition. It might be worth checking that.

Windows doesn't require the EFI partition when installed using an older BIOS. Still, I strongly suggest reinstalling in UEFI if your system supports it, since it's simpler to do now rather than later.

You can skip adding items manually; disconnecting other drives and reinstalling lets the Windows installer create partitions automatically.

If you prefer not to reinstall, you can try A, but I suggest B since it's much simpler. Be sure to thoroughly erase your new drive.
