Windows 10: i cant get UEFI in m.2

Hi i buyed a m.2 from lexar but when i want to install win 11 i need to get the UEFI bios by close the csm but when i close the csm this showing this please help.

:)

 

"old" M.2 System drive is MBR, cannot convert to GPT for W11 Upgrade

Steve108... it seemed to convert, but on restart, after setting boot mode to uefi, the m.2 drive is not in the boot list, it is not in any boot list under under csm mode either. However, my computer system information lists the drive. So, no i can't load windows at all on this drive. this is greatly distressing. - - - Updated - - - darn it Navy... i was hoping you'd find this sooner and help me before i did something as stupid as i think i did by using Steve's suggestion. i had tried the mbr2gpt with a partition boost of up to 1gb and i still had the same errors. i reset the partition and rebooted and tried again and that is when i posted the above log file. Same errors both ways. any other suggestion at this point?

 

Cloned LEGACY SSD to M.2 error: 0xc000000e

Details:

Recently my 500GB SATA boot drive ran out of space due to apps/updates. I then have purchased a m.2 NVME drive.

I have used Macrum Reflect 8 to clone the 500GB SATA drive to the new 1TB NVME M.2. Before that I did format the new drive with the GPT format in disk management. The cloning process went smoothly.

I then have tried booting into the new drive.

The drive posted with error:

"RECOVERY

YOUR PC/DEVICE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED

Required file missing

FILE: \windows\system32\winload.exe

ERROR CODE: 0xc000000e"

Keep in mind:

• Before booting into the new drive the other boot drive was disconnected.
  
• The motherboard bios was NOT changed from CSM to UEFI.
  
• I did try using a WIN 10 installation image on a USB drive to repair. (Not successful)
  
• When I unplugged the new drive and plugged it into a different computer with a M.2>USB Adapter all the files showed up no problem.
  

After further diagnosis I noticed:

• The drive is only recognized in BIOS when in CSM and LEGACY+UEFI. It disappears as soon as I switch OS BOOT to UEFI.
  
• Marcum Reflect 8 has reformatted the drive to MBR in order to clone Windows.
  

Possible issue:

• Drive is in MBR instead of GPT. (WRONG FORMAT)
  
• Windows installation was cloned as LEGACY instead of UEFI enabled.
  

Question:

1. How do I reformat the drive to GPT?
   
2. How do I clone Windows with UEFI when the original is LEGACY?
   

System Information:

Motherboard: MSI B550 PLUS AM4

Old drive: Samsung 870 Evo SATA

New drive: WD SN850X NVMe

Software used: Macrum Reflect 8

OS: Windows 10

 

Locked in Safe Mode UEFI m.2 with no password to exit

I'm in CMS disabled UEFI boot only. I have 7 m.2s in UEFI volume format - four are in RAID0. The OS is not in RAID. I'll try to boot to USB with CMS enabled and both legacy only and UEFI only disabled. The PC will still still start in UEFI as that's
all I have. Thanks.
