Windows 10: SSD not recognized as bootable option

Hi, I am facing some issues with Windows installation in my new SSD. It is a Kingston A400 with 120Gb. First, I tried to make a clone from my HDD to the SSD, but it was not recognized as bootable. Then, I installed windows from a pen drive with the HDD also installed (I did not know it is not recommended). It also did not work. Then, I formatted the SSD and installed windows again without the HDD and with the SSD in the motherboard, not in the caddy. This time it kind of worked, because the bootmanager asks me to choose one of the windows options. However, in Bios it is not shown as bootable and when I choose the new windows there's an error: 0xc00000e, the winload.efi does not exist. I can still start windows from the HDD and I even did a system restore, but it did not help. I have also played around with bcdboot, bcdedit, bootrec but none of them helped. In fact, bootrec commands return "the file specified could not be found". The automatic startup repair says it cannot fix it and the Kingston SSD Manager tool does not recognize the SSD as well. However, I can copy and install things on it while in windows. All the BIOS parameters are correct, AHCI, fastboot off, secure boot off and so on. I am desperate, please help!

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

PC Rebuilding: HDD can't get recognized ??

By not recognized you mean the BIOS is not listing it at all , or you just can't use it as a bootable drive ?

I suppose you did try all Sata ports ?
