The method to boot from a USB depends on the make of the PC, what is the make (Dell, Lenovo, Asus... etc.) of the PC you added the new SSD to?
How do you install new bios system?

If you have replaced the drive that Windows was installed onto with the new SSD, did you create a bootable Windows 11 USB with the official Media Creation Tool and use that to clean install Windows on the new SSD?
