Transfer the Windows Boot Manager to a designated drive using Windows On It.
Here’s a revised version of your text:
So here’s the situation. My main PC is the only one that accepts Windows properly installed, while my other motherboards are laptops or system boards from companies like HP or Lenovo. The main point is I installed Windows on a second drive on my primary PC. After booting, I checked everything to be sure, but since I left and came back later it was already set up. Then I moved the drive to the PC where I wanted it, without any major issues. However, this became important because both operating systems are now linked to the boot manager for a drive I intended for other purposes. I’m relieved I hadn’t already sold that PC or erased the drive, as that would have meant losing my fresh Windows installation. The question is: how can I transfer the Boot Manager from the drive I don’t want to my actual boot drive without ruining my Windows setup? PS. I don’t mind the install with the Boot Manager, it’s clean and easy to restore, but I need to keep my Windows version intact.
Connect the Windows drive, power it up, go to the installation media, open the command prompt, and run diskpart to set up a new EFI partition on your device.
