You may want to boot from windoze iso installer and try "fix boot problems"
when already in SATA controller mode.

If that does not work and machine boots in UEFI mode you may want to
adjust/select the proper EFI-BOOT partition to boot from. Usually this is
the FAT32 partition with EFI boot loader.

If that does not work you may simply re-install windoze from iso installer,
serial number is now installed in BIOS/TPM, so you will have all OS working
in SATA mode :-)
