You can pretty easily create the extra partitions yourself (Google for "diskpart UEFI"). Not sure if that will put it in your UEFI boot list, though. It seems you'll also need to do some stuff with bcdedit, which is included in WinPE.
Good luck!

After spending 16 hours on this, I'm going with a clean install on the new drive and manually saving what I can.
windows starput is so garbage that i needed to fix it installing installing this on a pendrive and booting from there https://www.system-rescue.org/
It's a bit of a long shot, but I recently had a similar issue that kind of resolved itself. I cloned from one SSD to another and it wouldn't boot, tried pretty much all the recovery options but wasn't getting anywhere. The drive I cloned had both W10 and 11 on it.
I set up a Windows 10 installer USB, booted from that, and for some reason the W11 partition gave me an option for a system restore point that wasn't available when previously booting from the SSD. It did its thing and after that I was able to boot into both W11 and then following that, W10.
Don't know if that helps you at this point but either way I wish you luck.
Thanks for the tip, may help in the future. The failing drive was failing so quickly that I just went with a fresh install on the new one to get what I could and trash it. SSD is barely a year old too, never going with Kingston again.
