I switched to Windows UEFI on my legacy system and mounted it on an SSD. Everything worked initially, but after restarting the PC, no bootable devices appear except the USB drive. It booted during installation but now fails to start. What should I do?

I powered on my SATA boot but didn’t see any bootable drives, nothing displayed.

The pronoun "it" refers to the subject of the sentence, which is not explicitly stated but implied to be the person or thing performing the action.

I've formatted my SSD to GPT, set up my BIOS in Windows UEFI, installed Windows 11 onto it, but it doesn't recognize the drive as a boot option. Everything seems correctly converted and I'm struggling to identify the problem.

Double check Windows was not installed as legacy drive. Though windows 11 can't really be legacy, only win 10. Here's how to update Windows retroactively . If it's a clean empty install might as well just reinstall Windows properly again.

The PC is not stock, and it hasn't been overclocked. Auto-OC caused issues, leading to incorrect voltages and poor drive performance.

I followed the recommended manual. Did you connect any additional drives? Windows might have placed the bootloader on that drive instead.
