Ok . Cos it sounds like it found your OLD C:\ on Disk 1, .........Is it an Image or a Partition Copy?
not the new C:\Windows (win10) on Disk 0 , or old boot files from windows 7 perhaps if Disk 0 was not totally cleaned.

So at the moment you have only disk 0 connected and it will not boot?
It's the restored partition, I doubt there's any trace left from that old Win7 install...
Yes, only Disk 0 is connected an can't boot.
And the blinking " _ " is the same as when I did it the first time that didn't work..
and you totally cleaned Disk 0 of all partitions ? deleted everything ? down to unallocated space?
And it had the 4 GPT Partition after you booted into win 10 ?

And your BIOS is definitely set to UEFI? No CSM settings or anything? I think (but don't know) that flashing cursor is when it is trying to boot legacy.
If disk 0 is partitioned GPT, has the correct partitions and your BIOS is set to boot UEFI it really should work.
I'll see if I can find the UEFI command to fix boot - I think it is as easy as booting from macrium disk, going to command prompt and entering bcdboot C:\Windows but let me check (or perhaps someone can confirm).
You maybe right LX07 .............. perhaps the Boot Order is now incorrect with all this unplugging of drives , if UEFI is working the 1st boot device will say Windows Boot Manager , if it is set to something else it maybe why ...
Hold on, I think I got it....
(I was trying the automatic repair from windows just in case, prior to doing that manual bcdboot and others... But got tired of waiting and, yes, I'm the worst but I hard rebooted...)
That MBR boot selection did the trick, I'm gonna send you a screenshot in a bit, something is very very weird there on my BIOS....
Remember I mentioned there was an MBR on my Disk 1 (Without it being connected) ... Well... Selecting that did the trick...
