First would be to check if the motherboard detects the nvme drive in the BIOS. I upgraded recently from a B450 to X570S with a processor upgrade. It will not boot to the old drive. I installed windows 10 on a 2nd NVME although gen 3 drive. When I confirmed I cannot access the old drive at all I deleted the partition and installed windows 11 on it.

Bios set to legacy or Uefi mode? Chances your ssd is in MBR instead of GPT?
Try setting to legacy for mbr and uefi for gpt
