Hey guys, so I managed to get Windows working by preinstalling windows on another SSD before swapping it into my Highpoint PCIe card (slot 2, with Catalina on slot 1). It booted fine despite the hardware configs being different. I saw that Windows didn't recognize the PCIe card, although the built-in drivers were seeing the bridged PCIe NVME SSDs fine (hence even being able to boot into Windows to begin with).
I then downloaded the latest Win 10 drivers from Highpoint and rebooted, but the windows icon + spinning wheel just kept going on and on. What gives? Should I have tried doing this on a fresh install? The preinstalled Windows 10 SSD was a fresh install off a Dell XPS 13 that I was upgrading its SSD anyway.

I'm re-attempting a fresh install to see how it goes. If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know.
