How can I find which drive contains the Windows bootloader and can I move it?

[A Silver]

I recently moved my system to a new case and have an m.2 SSD for my boot drive and initially forgot to plug in my two sata SSDs. The PC did not boot into windows until I plugged in the SATA drives which led me to believe the bootloader is on a different drive to the OS. Is there a way I can locate where it is and move it to my m.2 windows drive?

I would create a new one using the windows installation media. I have used this guide before

You can then delete the boot partition on your other drive.

Exactly what I needed, thanks!
