I recently updated my setup to replace the motherboard and upgrade the CPU (MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI with I7-12700K). The system starts up normally, thermal management is solid, and all components are recognized. However, the original boot drive (XPG SX8200 M.2) remains hidden in the boot menu, with the boot mode locked to UEFI and no access. I've tried disabling secure boot, but it doesn't work. My goal is simply to boot into the M.2 drive without any complications. I understand it might be possible to create a different UEFI-compatible Windows installation on another drive, but I have all my drives accounted for. (I'm aware of the option in theory, but I can't verify it right now.)
