Hello, the issue seems to stem from a mixed drive setup where Windows 10 is split between two partitions. You can check the screenshot to confirm the SSD is labeled as "Boot" and the other as "System." To resolve this, you might need to consolidate the drives or format only the necessary partition before upgrading to Windows 11 without losing data. Regarding the missing "System Reserved" partition, it’s often created automatically during installation but may not appear in your current setup. Let me know if you need further guidance!

Use Easybcd to transfer your bootloader to the system partition. Ensure no other drives are connected except the installation media during Windows setup—it’s a Windows requirement.

Certainly! I can help with that. Moving the system to the boot drive is possible if you need to change its location.

The "system" label doesn't matter. It does seem you have everything needed to boot on the SSD, can you boot with the HDD disconnected? If yo then you might be able to convert with it disconnected. Your Windows install was done in Legacy mode so there's no EFI partition.
