I recently assembled a new computer. During the installation of Windows 10/11 via USB, everything works smoothly, but once setup completes and the system restarts, it fails to boot from the SSD. Pressing F11 opens the boot menu, yet no drives appear. I've attempted both UEFI and CSM installation, but neither succeeded. In CSM BIOS mode, all drives display correctly, though selecting one prompts a reboot and asks for the proper boot device. My old SSD, which was formatted using the Windows setup installer, is still from an older PC. Could this have any influence on the issue?

shouldn´t be related to its age, unless it shows signs of failure
the problem might stem from a TPM issue with the BIOS version
update your motherboard's BIOS using m-flash through the BIOS settings

if you installed it via UEFI/GPT, start booting using the boot option in the Windows Boot Manager, as shown in the BIOS boot order
how was the USB install stick created? refer to this guide
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
have you installed both Windows 10 and 11, or just one? Use this link while installing: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
did you clear all partitions during setup, not just format them?

I replaced the SSD that I attempted to install Windows on, and it functioned flawlessly. The original SSD had become corrupted in a manner that made it usable for gaming, though it wasn't compatible with UEFI Windows.

If the drive has partitions with data on it, installing Windows in UEFI mode might not be feasible.
UEFI requires the drive to be formatted as a GPT partition.
Using an MBR format partition is not compatible with UEFI.
This is unrelated to data corruption.
Therefore, it's advised to connect only one drive and ensure the target drive is clean before installing Windows. This will eliminate any prior partitioning and associated data.
