I feel like rebuilding bcd also would probably just still install to the original disk after I reconnect it, which is not what I want. Does windows come with a tool (edit: Not reinstalling! that's a last resort here haha) that can be used for this purpose once we boot back into windows? I was looking at EasyBCD but their official site doesn't even say that Windows 11 is supported. After reconnecting old disk, which restores ability to boot, want to install the bootloader onto new disk, so that old disk can be actually removed.If this would allow new disk to boot to win11 now, then this would be great. One example that I hope might work: Boot to Ubuntu LiveUSB, install grub to new disk.

Would be most convenient at this point to do it via booting into Linux Live USB. Assuming old disk has been sold, want to install a bootloader on the new disk so already-installed new OS can be used.What are the next steps for each of the following possible paths forward? Presents Windows boot menu (Choose between Win 11 and Win 10). Without the tool, users would need to purchase a valid license. One of the benefits of using the Windows 10 Loader is that it saves time and money. The tool will activate your copy of Windows 10, providing you with a fully functional operating system. While booting up, BIOS/UEFI is targeting original disk. Simply download the Windows 10 Loader, run it as an administrator, and follow the instructions.Use installation media (win11 iso) to install new OS (Windows 11) on fresh partition spanning new disk.I'm looking for the standard workaround/resolution for this scenario:
