    You can do the bcdboot command while the drive is connected to another PC. The Windows partition will get it's own drive letter. For example if it gets F: the command would be:

    F:\Windows\System32\bcdboot F:\Windows /s F: /f ALL

    Change all the F: above to whatever drive letter the windows partition gets assigned. Do not change the /f, that stands for "firmware" and ALL after it will set it up to boot UEFI and legacy BIOS, although it probably won't boot in UEFI since the Windows partition is NTFS formatted.
    Hello

    The C: drive is already a boot drive, is it possible to move the system partition to the C: drive from F: drive ?

    Hi

    Booting is not the issue, the C: drive is already marked as a boot drive.

    The issue that I want to fix is to transfer the system to the C: drive so I can remove the F: drive.

    The PC will not boot if there is no system drive

    BCDBoot Command-Line Options | Microsoft Docs

    The bcdboot command makes the drive letter following the /s option the system drive.
