The SSD contains a copy of the HDD. Both have the EFI folder on Windows/boot/EFI or system31/boot/efi, and both drives include this. What should you do?

If the Windows copy you made is on the H: drive (Disco 0) shown in your first screenshot, it likely doesn’t include an EFI partition. EFI partitions are usually FAT32 files, around 250MB, but can vary. In your screenshot, the first partition appears on what looks like "Disco 1." I’m uncertain how Windows displays this drive, but it probably has its own letter if accessible. Recent Windows versions may allow mounting in directories as well. It seems unrelated to the folder names you mentioned. A possible approach is to remove the HDD (keep the SSD), use a Windows recovery USB to repair the installation, and consider reaching out to Paragon for assistance.

This suggestion makes sense. If you wanted to transfer Windows to another drive, I’d handle it from a Live Linux installation because that’s the most straightforward approach. I’m not sure you can do this while booting from the Live Windows setup you’re using, and I don’t know if any recovery tools can handle this. It looks like the Paragon Migrate OS was intended to assist with this task but only partially succeeded—I’m not very familiar with it, possibly a user mistake.

You can remove the Ubuntu option quickly using the live CD. Start it and run efibootmgr
