It looks like you made a mistake. Could you clarify what you meant?

I believe I made a mistake trying to overclock the computer. I opened the BIOS, turned on AI overclocking, reached my desktop, but it blue-screened. Now each time I start up, it won’t boot into Windows—it prompts me to pick my keyboard layout and then shows a troubleshooting screen. I went back in the BIOS and pressed F5 to restore defaults, but it still doesn’t work.
I pressed start up and repair but it didn't function. I navigated to UEFI and attempted to boot from there, but it still didn't work.
Did you attempt to set default settings in your BIOS or reset the CMOS memory?
When you are on the BIOS menu, you have an option to load defaults. If you can't load defaults, you can remove the CMOS battery on your motherboard. It is a nickel-sized. You just remove it for 5 minutes while your computer is unplugged and then reinsert it and boot your computer. The BIOS defaults should be loaded then.
I installed the default settings and then transferred Windows to my HDD using that drive. It’s working now. I can still see my old M.2 SSD with more than 600GB, but a lot of my files seem missing or inaccessible because I had to reinstall things like Chrome, GoXLR software, Discord, etc. I’m not sure how to properly test it.
A failing SSD might also lead to this problem. Start by backing up any data that's still usable. For the rest, you can always request a recovery quote from a service (some are quite costly). If the information can be retrieved again, skip recovery and just re-download it instead.
