Your system is set up with Windows on an SSD, but the recovery partition is stored on a slower HDD. When you switch to the SSD as the primary boot drive, Windows fails to start because it can't access the recovery files. To fix this, you should create a bootable USB or CD that contains Windows and place it in the correct boot order so Windows can boot directly from it. Alternatively, ensure the recovery partition is accessible via a bootable media and use it as the default boot device.

Take out the HDD, install Windows on the SSD. Start up, confirm it functions properly. After that, connect the HDD again and wipe its contents.

Creating a recovery drive on a USB allows you to access your data if your main system becomes unreadable.

I used a USB drive to install Windows first.
