I am not sure if I have selected the correct sections for this question. Can someone please clarify if the Intel NUC NUC5i7RYB Is able to detect legacy partitions that were created using another computer.
Essentially, I am trying to transfer an SSD with windows 10 installed from a an older PC using legacy bios to an intel NUC5i7RYB.
In the bios of the NUC, the partitions of the SSD are recognized under the UEFI section and not in the legacy section and do not boot (I get a no boot drive error).
I have tried a number of things such as resetting the bios to factory default settings, updating the bias and disabling UEFI. I also tried using a mechanical HDD with Windows 10 installed (also previously used with a legacy bios system and I got the same result.
I did, however, have success when I transferred an SSD with Windows 11 installed on it from another PC to the NUC was able to boot with no problems.
I am wondering if anyone has had a similar issue as l have above is it even possible to use legacy partitions on this model NUC? I'd appreciate any help anyone is going to offer.

Is this an NVMe SSD? UEFI boot (and GPT partitioning) is a requirement for NVMe.
