Thanks Navy, I did wonder if it had unselected the EFI partition.
Edit: I used the command to list the partitions on the C: drive and select the system partition and then proceeded to format it as originally suggested. I just need the steps that followed when you happen to get that spare moment.
Previous post was:
diskpart
select volume c
shrink desired=100
create part EFI size=100
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter=s
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI
I got "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" using the bcdboot line listed above in command prompt, I am unfamiliar with bcdboot so I'm not sure if I simply did something wrong here. On the step before the letter S was assigned successfully.
What is the status of the laptop clean install and boot?
What do you see when the computer is powered on?
Please post images and / or share links using one drive, drop box, or google drive.
Yes it was a clean install on a new SSD.
The laptop boots into windows fine.
As mentioned in the earlier posts I'm trying to get the BIOS to see the new SSD as UEFI and not Legacy as it originally did when I installed the SSD and installed windows. I changed it from MBR to GPT from the windows installation screen and have since followed the steps above to allocate the drive an EFI partition, the drive itself still isn't seen under UEFI boot options in the BIOS itself though and I'd imagine it may be the final steps listed that may resolve this but for it doesn't want to allow it.
I'm happy to post pictures, could you be a bit more specific as to what you'd like me to post.
Thanks
Daniel
What's wrong with the SSD being MBR? As long as it works that's all that matters.
BTW, I have two older desktops with Windows 10 on them. The SSDs have to be MBR because the motherboards do not even support UEFI.

@misterEd. It's not that anything is inherently wrong with MBR. GPT is just the newer better option and considering It's a new drive and fresh install, I figure it's best to deal with this now rather than have it be something I was to look at down the line.
@zbook. Hopefully these are sufficient, if the diskpart one isn't correct please let me know.
1) For the diskpar info script it creates a text report.

@zbook. I've tried to do each of the steps you've listed above, hopefully this shares okay and you can see what you are after.

I couldn't find exactly what you asked for in BIOS, so took some photos of what is hopefully relevant.
Thanks
