I installed a new nvme drive and successfully cloned my Windows install to it with the original intention of simply using the original drive (smaller nvme) as extra storage but decided to install Fedora Workstation on the original drive. Since creating the install media for Fedora my machine will not boot to Windows. I got Fedora installed successfully on the original drive and have tried several ways to get back into the Windows install:
- Reinstall Grub to trigger reconfiguration
- Enter Windows boot through one-time boot menu
- Change boot order
- Create Windows install media
- Attempt repair (provided BitLocker key)
- Startup Repair
- Attempt to rebuild boot configuration data via
bootrec /rebuildbcdbut drive isn’t accessible
- Attempt full install (needs to be run from within Windows)
- Attempt repair (provided BitLocker key)
- Create Lenovo install media (aborted because it says it will wipe the drive, but may just do this)
- Remove original drive
Nothing has changed that I get a BSOD with error code 0xc000000e.
Here are some resources I’ve considered:

It seems that most of the Fedora-related links are about single-drive installs and several mention either BIOS or legacy with UEFI so I could be chasing potential causes (and fixes) that don’t apply, but at this point I am lost and about to just obliterate my Windows install, but I would prefer not to.
