Hello! Here’s a revised version of your message:

Hello! I'm working on upgrading my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I need to move data between two SSDs onto a single NVMe drive and replace some parts. These are the first two tasks I’m tackling, and I’d really appreciate your assistance.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Final operating system: Windows 10 Pro → Windows 11 (media tool on USB)
- Motherboard: Previously MSI 540-A Pro, now using Gigabyte B650M Gaming + WiFi (BIOS F35)
- CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X → Ryzen 5 7600X
- RAM: Two Corsair LPX 8GB DDR4-2400 sticks → two G.Skill Flare x5 16GB DDR5-6000
- Storage: Two Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (boot) and 860 EVO 1TB SSD combo
- GPU: Radeon RX 6700 XT 12BG (XFX Speedster)
- PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G3 (80+ Gold)

What I need help with:
- All parts are assembled.
- Successfully used the 500GB boot SSD to bypass BIOS setup.
- Managed disk management, formatted the NVMe drive with NTFS and quick format.
- Downloaded Windows 11 installation media onto a USB drive, which works for booting.
- When I powered off the PC, disconnected the SSDs and used the USB drive to install Windows 11.
- On startup from the USB, I reached the Windows 11 setup and selected installation options.
- The only choice was Disk 0 partition 2, but it gave a generic error when trying to install.
- I need guidance on how to configure the boot process so the NVMe drive works as the boot device.

Thanks in advance!

The NVMe was formatted in Windows before installation because the operating system automatically prepares the drive during setup.

You're correct, and I initially believed I had to modify the NVMe before installation; it was just a mistake on my part.
