BIOS detects M.2 SSD but it isn't a Boot option

I recently bought an ASUS Z390 E GAMING Mobo and an I7-9700k. Everything detects fine in bios but I can't for the life of me get this PC to boot. The SSD is a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB and it already has a windows installation on it from my last PC. I would like to avoid doing a clean install if possible, please.

Change the boot option from Legacy to UEFI or vice versa.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

I've already tried that so far literally nothing has allowed me to select this drive as a boot drive.

What method did you do for cloning?

No cloning I literally took this drive from the last computer and put in in the new one.

Is your partition table GPT or MBR?

Some say NVME need GPT to boot.

What i would do if i were you is to make a image backup of the drive so i can reset everything and try again as a blank drive.

Does your M.2 port support NVMe and is your SSD and NVMe drive?  About a year ago when I was doing my first build I wanted my SSD to be M.2, but there was a lot of people having trouble using non MVMe SSD's as their boot drives.  It might not be an issue now, but it might be worth looking into.
